Marcus Epps was making a tackle in the third quarter of Sunday’s game between the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Somehow, the Eagles DB wound up with the hit and the pick of the Alex Smith pass, one of the more bizarre interceptions of the season.

The Eagles drove to the 4-yard line and instead of taking a chip-shot field goal for the tie, Doug Pederson went for it on fourth down and Jalen Hurts threw an incomplete pass.
The New York Giants can’t be delighted how that played out.
