The New York Giants fell to the Los Angeles Rams, 17-9, at SoFi Stadium in Week 4, dropping their record to 0-4 for the first time since 2013.
Although the Giants managed to corral the Rams’ high-powered offense, they couldn’t seem to generate much of an attack of their own. And in the end, with a chance to tie on the line, New York did what they do best — turn the ball over and come up short.
Here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to their latest loss.
Offensive snaps: 68
Defensive snaps: 57
Special teams snaps: 23
Offensively, it was a pretty solid mix of snaps for the wide receivers and the running backs, but as far as the latter, a pattern is obviously developing. Devonta Freeman is rapidly becoming the No. 1 back, while Dion Lewis steps in on third-down. Still, it remains curious to see fullback Eli Penny logging fewer than five snaps per game.
Defensively, Adrian Colbert stepped in with 75% of all snaps, replacing the injured Jabrill Peppers and the ailing Julian Love, who saw just 17 snaps. And after an ugly start to the game, Devante Downs was yanked and saw just four snaps.
