This was the first Sunday Night Football game held in MetLife Stadium following a one-season absence.
With the loss, the Giants fell to 3-8, and were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after the Lions defeated the Bears on Thanksgiving four days later. This game, however, is best known for an acrobatic one-handed catch by Odell Beckham Jr. early in the 2nd quarter that is widely regarded as one of the greatest catches in NFL history. A penalty marker flew as he made the catch for pass interference on Brandon Carr , who had been covering Beckham on that play. The catch was also the Giants 3,000th touchdown in franchise history, including postseason play.

In this game, Odell Beckham Jr. broke Giants' franchise records for most receptions by a rookie and most receiving yards by a rookie, previously set by Jeremy Shockey in 2002. Beckham also topped 1,000 yards receiving for the season. In both cases, this was achieved despite Beckham missing the first four games of the season. This game was also infamous for a bench-clearing brawl in the second quarter.
Because the Rams moved to Los Angeles in 2016, this is the last time the Giants played in St. Louis.
