Rams’ worst Case scenario in London

LONDON — The New York Giants capitalized on four interceptions of Case Keenum to defeat the Los Angeles Rams, 17-10, yesterday in the first NFL game played at London’s home of English rugby, a sold-out and raucous Twickenham Stadium.

Keenum, coming off the best start of his career, had the Rams at the Giants 15yard 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.

Fisher said he had no intention of switching quarterbacks during the bye week.

“The windows are tight and the throws have to be more precise,” Fisher said of Keenum’s throws. “I’ll make changes at receiver before I make a change at quarterback.”

The win kept the Giants (4-3) in good shape in the ultra-competitive NFC East, where no one has a losing record. The Rams (34) lost their third straight.

The Giants entered yesterday with the worst turnover differential in the NFC at minus-10. Then tight end Larry Donnell coughed up the ball on the Giants 35, leading to the Rams’ lone touchdown, a 10-yard grab by Tavon Austin.

But the Rams were unable to build on that early edge and instead hit the selfdestruct button. Keenum threw two interceptions, both off high-sailing deflections, to safety Landon Collins, and two more in the end zone to cornerback RodgersCromartie. Running back Todd Gurley struggled, carrying 15 times for 57 yards, his longest run an 8-yarder.

Collins returned his first pick 44 yards for a secondquarter touchdown, making several Rams miss tackles before he bowled over center Tim Barnes to draw the Giants even.

“I must have run at least 100 yards on that play,” said a beaming Collins, who until yesterday had only one interception in his twoyear career.

Collins’ second pick set up the winning drive, which featured a 22-yard catch by Odell Beckman Jr. to the Rams 6. Rashad Jennings scored from the 1 for the Giants’ only offensive touchdown.

Eli Manning had a pedestrian day, going 24-of-37 for 196 yards and no touchdowns.
