DETROIT -- Case Keenum was picking apart the Detroit Lions, throwing short and accurate passes to set a Rams record with 19 straight completions.Then, with the game on the line, he made a mistake that sealed the loss.Keenum threw deep over the middle toward a well-covered Lance Kendricks and was picked off by Rafael Bush with 1:01 left , allowing the Detroit Lions to hold on for a 31-28 win Sunday.Just thought Lance had a little seam there, Keenum said. Tried to look off a safety.Bush said Keenum didnt try hard enough to do that.I saw the quarterback staring and knew I just had to catch the ball, Bush said.Detroit was determined to prevent Todd Gurley from having a big day on the ground and was able to do it, holding him to 58 yards on 14 carries.We wanted to let somebody else beat us, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said.The plan gave Keenum passing lanes to throw into and he took advantage.Keenum was 27 of 32 with three touchdowns for 321 yards and one interception. He broke a franchise record for consecutive passes completed set by Jim Everett, who connected on 18 straight against the New York Giants in 1989.For much of the game, he seemed to validate the Rams reasoning to play him and sit Jared Goff, the No. 1 pick overall.Most of Keenums passes were short, though he did have a 47-yard pass to Kenny Britt that he turned into a spectacular catch.He helped the Rams score a touchdown in each quarter. Keenum had a 20-yard pass to Britt, a 1-yard run of his own on a bootleg, a 15-yard pass to Kendricks and 9-yard pass to Britt.But after Keenums second TD pass to Britt early in the fourth quarter, the Rams didnt gain a yard on their next drive and Keenum threw an interception on the second play of their final possession.We went three and out at one of the most crucial drives, he acknowledged.Rams coach Jeff Fisher said the game seemed to slow down for Keenum, allowing him to make some big-time throws, against the Lions.I was pleased with the way Case played, Fisher said.

A woman who picked up boxing at 17 so she could do something new will lace up her gloves and fight for her country. A 21-year-old Floridian will break a sports unwritten color barrier.These are women of the world, making their Olympic debuts in Rio by nature of their own unique paths.Olympic athletes have always been symbols. Symbols of the very streets they grew up on, the very people who helped them along the way -- and yet, they also symbolize the highest form of athletic achievement. The Games offer a strange, remarkable dichotomy, between an athletes place among her fellow countrymen, and her status as an elite competitor.With these photos, we hope to capture both the awe-inspiring beauty of athletic grace, and the everyday, universal nature of these first-time Olympians. They are shot in the foreground of some of the worlds greatest treasures, and in the middle of crowded city streets. In sailboats and canal boats. Places you know and places you dont. But all feature women who have earned their ways to compete on the worlds biggest stage.Katy McLean, 30Rugby, Great Britain ? StonehengeI started in a very small town in South Shields that lots of people have never heard of, playing a sport that girls didnt play. It was a sport for men, and women didnt do it. Id like [my former students] to take away that you can do whatever you set your mind to -- it makes no difference who you are, where youre from or your family background, as long as youre prepared to work hard and not back down. I really dont care what people think.Rani Rampal, 21Field Hockey, India ? BangaloreWhen I was 7 years old, I didnt know what the Olympics were, what the meaning of the Olympics were. And when I was first representing my country in 2008, I still didnt know what the Olympics were, I was too young. When we lost, most of the senior players were crying because we didnt qualify, but I just thought, Why are they crying? I dont know what the Olympics are. I dont know what the meaning of the Olympics is. Four years later, in 2012 in India we lost a qualifying game very closely in the finals, and I cried so much. I had realized what the Olympics were -- and why they were crying four years back.Ashleigh Johnson, 21Water Polo, U.S.A ? Seal Beach, CaliforniaWhen I first found out I was going to be competing in Rio, it was the most amazing moment in my life. It was like everything Id been working for was coming true. And it was tangible. I could see my Olympic dream coming true, and it was just so amazing.dddddddddddd There are so many things that can derail you as a young female athlete, and you just have to believe in yourself -- everyone who supported me and pushed me to be my best, Im doing this for them.Lisa Darmanin, 24Sailing, Australia ? Sydney HarbourThe hard thing for female sailors is that life beyond the Olympics in sailing is quite challenging. Professional sailing is majorly dominated by men. We have the Americas Cup, where theres no females. We have the Extreme Sailing Series, where theres maybe one female. The Volvo Ocean Race is the other pinnacle of sailing, and you just dont see females there. The problem is that we dont have the experience because we havent had the opportunities. [In the Olympics], we get to race men out there. We can do this. We can race you. Give us the opportunity.Itzel Manjarrez, 26Taekwondo, Mexico ? Xochimilco, Mexico City[Taekwondo] is not practiced by women where I come from. I went on my own to the school where they practiced taekwondo; I liked staying distracted and also feeling free. My parents always gave me the freedom to do what I wanted, and after a month of practicing taekwondo my parents found out because I asked them for money to pay the tuition. After that they always supported me.Mikaela Mayer, 26 Boxing, U.S.A ? Lake Superior, MichiganPeople have to realize that there are going to be challenges. There are going to be times when you fail. There are going to be times when you feel like, maybe I cant do this, or that the world is against you. Thats when you have to persevere. Thats when you have to hold your head up and keep going.Charley Hull, 20Golf, Great Britain ? Wrest Park - Silsoe, EnglandIm in every event to win it. I wouldnt step on the first tee if I didnt think I could win it. I want to win gold. My dream ever since I was a young kid was to be world No. 1. So if I can get there, the smile on my dads face will be brilliant. He has not been a pushy parent at all -- my dad has been so relaxed and thats the reason that I love the game. I think more parents need to be like that.Shi Jinglin, 23 Swimming, China ? Norwalk, ConnecticutThere are two types of people [who inspire me]. One is somebody with consistent success, like Michael Phelps. Olympics after Olympics, hes just been there. And then theres somebody like Sun Yang, the Chinese mens star, who was injured, but just kept swimming and making himself better. I admire the person who is persistent. ' ' '
