Heroes, zeros and full blitz from the Giants’ 26-25 loss to the Rams on Sunday afternoon.
Hero
Rams RB Kyren Williams probably created a couple of fantasy football league champions by rushing for three touchdowns on his 20 carries and topping 100 yards from scrimmage (87 rushing and 14 receiving).
Zero
Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka strangely called for a run on second-and-10 with 42 seconds remaining — and a 2-yard loss turned a 52-yard field goal for Mason Crosby into a 54-yarder that had no chance.
Unsung hero
Giants’ seldom-used S Dane Belton came off the bench after Jason Pinnock was injured and created three takeaways — two interceptions and a fumble recovery.
Key stat
7: Penalties by Giants, four of which either erased chunk gains or were drive-killers that led to field-goal attempts instead of touchdowns.
Quote
“I’d like to have it back.”
