NY Giants Defeats LA Rams With Four Interceptions

During the game between Giants and Rams, the former used four inceptions to beat the latter.

The New York Giants had three takeaways all season. However, this is before they faced quarterback Case Keenum and the struggling Los Angeles Rams.

Thanks to Landon Collins and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, the two each had two interceptions of Keenum which led to a strong defensive effort in the Giants' 17-10 victory over the Rams on Sunday at the Twickenham Stadium in London.

According to Reuters, "Collins returned his first interception for a highlight-reel 44-yard touchdown. His second pick resulted to Rashard Jennings' go-ahead touchdown run in the fourth quarter."

Both Rodgers-Cromartie's picks happened in the end zone in the fourth quarter, including on the Ram's final drive.

Rams was led by Keenum into the territory of Giants in the final two minutes of the game. They were at the New York 15-yard line with one minute left, before a miscommunication took place between Keenum and receiver Brian Quick which caused Cromartie's second interception in the end zone, The New York Times reported.

"(Takeaways) usually come in bunches," New York coach Ben McAddo said. "Today was the day."

New York also handed the Rams (3-4) their third consecutive loss.

"Very disappointed," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "We've got a long trip back and a week off. We're going to go back to work."

McAdoo is also proud of Collins for jumpstarting the Giants in the second quarter.

"Tremendous effort by Landon," McAdoo said. "He looked like a running back. For him to be able to tuck the ball away and push the pile into the end zone, shows a lot. He shows up all over the field. He's a very productive young player. He's a tremendous tackler, which I don't think he gets enough credit for, and he's getting better playing the ball. You saw that tonight."

It was indeed a crucial game for both teams and this is what the winning team has to say:

"We just keep fighting and fighting, so that says a lot about us as a team," Rodgers-Cromartie said. "We're a resilient group."
