Latest from the NFL: Giants can't hold onto Manning's passes
The latest from NFL games around the league on the 12th Sunday of the season (all times EST):
1:30 p.m.
Eli Manning's passes keep going in and out of receivers' hands and resulting in interceptions in New York territory.
And yet the Giants are still in a scoreless tie with the Washington Redskins with first place in the NFC East at stake.
The Giants' first possession ended when Manning's throw was bobbled by Shane Vereen and picked off by linebacker Perry Riley Jr., setting up the Redskins at New York's 47. But the Redskins couldn't take advantage, going three-and-out.
The next time the Giants had the ball, Manning's pass was grabbed by Dwayne Harris, but popped out on a big hit from safety Kyshoen Jarrett, allowing cornerback Will Blackmon to pull in an interception that put Washington at New York's 26. This time, though, Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins' 51-yard field-goal attempt was blocked.

1:15 p.m.
Nick Foles is back as the St. Louis Rams' starting quarterback with Case Keenum limited as he recovers from a head injury.
Foles started the first nine games for the Rams (4-6), who are ranked last in the NFL in passing yards. He was replaced last week by Keenum, who suffered a head injury during a 16-13 loss at Baltimore and went into the NFL's concussion protocol.
Keenum was cleared to practice but was limited all week, prompting the Rams to go back to Foles for their game against the Cincinnati Bengals (8-2).
