EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Stephen Gostkowski made a 54-yard field goal with one second left, and the New England Patriots rallied to beat the New York Giants 27-26 and remain undefeated Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

On the final drive, New England quarterback Tom Brady was nearly intercepted by Giants rookie safety Landon Collins, who dropped the pick when he landed awkwardly on his neck and upper back. The Patriots moved the ball into Giants territory with four seconds remaining, and Gostkowski finished the rally.

The Giants went ahead 26-24 on a 29-yard Josh Brown field goal just after the two-minute warning.

New York thought it had a touchdown when quarterback Eli Manning connected with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in front of cornerback Malcolm Butler in the end zone. Officials ruled a touchdown, but replay showed Butler batted the ball out of Beckham's hands before his second foot was on the ground to complete the catch. Manning missed another throw to the end zone, and on third down, he slid down inbounds to stop the clock.

Brady completed 26 of 42 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns. Manning threw for 361 yards, completing 24 of 44 with two touchdowns.

Running back LeGarrete Blount's 1-yard run cut the Patriots' deficit to 20-17 in the middle of the third quarter. After Brown made a 53-yarder, the Patriots answered with a 76-yard Brady-to-Rob Gronkowski connection with 11:33 left in the game. The touchdown gave the Patriots their first lead since going ahead 10-7 on Gostkowski's 31-yard field goal in the second quarter.

Beckham, who had four receptions for 104 yards, caught an 87-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter after Brady and tight end Scott Chandler connected on a 1-yard TD.
