Then, cornerback Robert Alford picked off Tom Brady and returned it 82 yards to make it 21-0 with just over two minutes remaining in the first half. Here’s the interception: 


The Patriots only managed a field goal to put the score at 21-3 at halftime.

Seems like New England will need to do some serious work on the offensive front to catch up after this thrashing in the first half of Super Bowl LI.

Landon Collins Intercepts Case Keenum Twice in Giants' 17-10 Win vs Rams

Landon Collins intercepted two of Case Keenum’s passes to propel the New York Giants to a 17-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Twickenham Stadium in London.

Landon Collins Intercepts Case Keenum Twice To Lead Giants To 17-10 Win Over Rams

The matchup marked the first NFL game played at London’s home of English rugby. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie also had two interceptions.

Keenum, coming off the strongest start of his career, had Los Angeles at the Giants 15-yard line with 50 seconds remaining when he lobbed a throw in the left corner of the end zone that Rodgers-Cromartie picked off. Keenum’s intended target, Brian Quick, had broken off his route.

The Giants entered the game with the worst turnover differential in the NFC at minus-10. That became -11 on their second play from scrimmage as tight end Larry Donnell fumbled the ball on the Giants 35, an error that led to the Rams’ lone touchdown, a 10-yard catch by Tavon Austin.

However, Los Angeles was unable to capitalize on that early edge and instead sabotaged itself. Keenum threw two interceptions, both off high-flying deflections, to safety Collins and two to Rodgers-Cromartie.

Collins returned his first pick 44 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, zig-zagging across the field and making several Rams miss tackles before bowling over center Tim Barnes to tie the game 10-10.

The safety did not score on his second interception, which came with 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but Collins’ catch did set up the winning drive. This drive featured a 22-yard catch by Odell Beckham Jr to the Rams 6. Eli Manning then handed the ball off to Rashad Jennings, who scored from the 1.

Los Angeles’ last two possessions ended in the end-zone interceptions by Rodgers-Cromartie. The pro-Giants crowd of more than 74,000 cheered loudly.

The Giants (4-3) have a bye for Week 8, and will then host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 6.

The Rams (3-4), who have now lost three straight, also have a bye and will host the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 6.
