Continued from Page 44 The Jaguars (2-4), meanwhile, dropped a third straight at EverBank Field and added more speculatio­n about the future of coach Gus Bradley. Jacksonvil­le fell to 14-40 during Bradley’s four seasons, and the latest loss was filled with poor execution on both sides of the ball and a lack of discipline down the stretch.

In Detroit, Matthew Stafford threw a go-ahead, 18-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin with 16 seconds left.

The Lions (4-3) extended their winning streak to three games. The Redskins (4-3) had won four straight.

Stafford, who set up game-winning kicks in the previous two games, led his team to another win in the 100th game of his career. He was 18 of 29 for 266 yards, one TD and no turnovers.

Kirk Cousins scored a go-ahead TD on a 19yard run with 1:05 left.

The Redskins, though, failed to stop Stafford from throwing or running on his last possession and could not overcome mistakes that included turnovers, a missed field goal and penalties.

In London, the Giants capitalize­d on four intercepti­ons of Case Keenum in the first NFL game played at London’s home of English rugby, a soldout and raucous Twickenham Stadium.

Keenum, coming off the best start of his career, had the Rams at the Giants’ 15-yard line with 50 seconds left when he lobbed a pass in the left corner of the end zone that Dominique RodgersCro­martie easily picked off. Keenum’s intended target, Brian Quick, failed to get the quarterbac­k’s audible and cut off his route early.

Keenum, who finished 32 of 53 for 291 yards and one touchdown, has thrown an intercepti­on on the Rams’ final offensive play of the last three games. That likely will fuel debate on a potential quarterbac­k change to overall No. 1 draft pick Jared Goff.

Landon Collins returned his first of two picks 44 yards for a second-quarter touchdown, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie also had two intercepti­ons.
