Darius Slay picked Kirk Cousins off and promptly gifted the ball to James Harden on the sidelines

Darius Slay James Harden Kirk Cousins Philadelphia (Organization) Justin Jefferson Eagles 76ers Vikings

In every phase of the game, the Eagles looked dominant while tearing apart the Vikings (+3) on Monday Night Football.

With his rocket arm and electric mobility, Jalen Hurts had the Philadelphia offense absolutely humming. A terrific effort stymied Kirk Cousins and one Justin Jefferson almost out of the game completely on defense. It was Darius Slay — primarily assigned to cover Jefferson — who not only shut down the superstar receiver but added a pair of picks as a cherry on top of a 24-7 Eagles win.

It was also Slay who shut down a promising Vikings third-quarter possession in the red zone by jumping in front of a Cousins pass for Jefferson:

That’s one way to close a drive on defense.

Aside from the pick itself, Slay’s play might have been most notable for what he did after in a celebration. The superstar corner wasted no time running over to the first row of the stadium to give a “special fan” the interception ball.

That special fan happened to be 76ers star guard James Harden:

That’s a sight Philadelphia sports fans have to love. The Eagles and 76ers smiling and laughing together in a big-time performance. Does it get any better for Philly?
