Someone find NBC Sports Philadelphia's Reuben Frank and send him some champagne. The man isn't just a great writer and statistician. He's some sort of prophet. If you took some time to tune in to the pregame show before Philly's Wild Card Round game vs. the Green Bay Packers, you heard his premonition.
'Darius Slay will intercept his first pass in the season in this game'. Hmmm... Can we get him to make some predictions about a Super Bowl win?
Darius Slay snatches his first interception since Week 7 of the 2023 Eagles season.
Slay has been solid this season, more solid than he's given credit for being. You know how this works. If cornerbacks aren't racking up pick-sixes, casual fans somehow believe they aren't doing their jobs well.
His slump ends on the postseason stage. He snagged his first INT since last season vs. Green Bay.
Darius Slay picks it off!

That's a 34-year-old corner running stride for stride with Dontayvion Wicks by the way. He didn't hauled in an interception during the regular season. That is the first time that has happened since 2013, his rookie season. This also marks the first time he has snagged a postseason INT.
This is his eighth postseason game. Congratulations on breaking the jinx. Something tells us he was aware of all of this.
