Watch Eagles CB Darius Slay gift 76ers James Harden the ball after intercepting Kirk Cousins’ pass on Monday Night Football. After the Eagles beat the Vikings 24-7, Slay signed a 10-time NBA All-Star football.
The game happened at the 10-minute mark of the third quarter with Philadelphia State on the second lead. The pass was intended for Vikings WR Justin Jefferson.
Watch: Eagles CB Darius Sly gifts James Harden the ball after interception
After intercepting the ball, Slay took it to Harden – front row seats – to give him the souvenir. Watch the full video below.
Of course, Slay had an amazing night against the Vikings. The 10-year NFL veteran finished his career with two interceptions, five passes defensed and one solo tackle.
After signing the football for Harden at Lincoln Financial Field, the Sixers guard tweeted, “First Eagles game on! Keep it up bro @bigplay24slay.” Check out the cornerback’s sign of the Pig on Twitter below.
Additionally, the Eagles snapped their two-game losing streak against the Vikings. This is Philadelphia’s first win over Minnesota since the 2017 NFC Championship Game. Not to mention, the all-time series record between these NFC rivals is now at 15-15.

For Week 3 of the NFL, the Eagles play the Chiefs on the road this Sunday at 1pm ET. After the matchup against Washington, the team will face the Jaguars in Week 4.
With the Chiefs playing at FedEx Field, Harden will likely attend one more Eagles game before the start of the 2022-23 NBA season. He might have seen another game with front row seats again.
Additionally, 76ers training camp begins on September 27th and runs through October 2nd. Instead of practicing at the team’s practice facility in Camden, New Jersey, head coach Doc Rivers decided to move camp to Charleston, South Carolina.
Rivers wants his training camp sessions to be held at McAlister’s Field House, The Citadel’s basketball arena. Public High Military College is one of the best schools in the South.
Rivers also moved training camp, hoping the team will be better focused this year. James Harden and teammate Joel Embiid are poised to win an NBA championship for the City of Brotherly Love.
