What was Giants CB Eli Apple thinking on play that set up Eagles' field goal?

PHILADELPHIA -- Giants cornerback Eli Apple had one thought after the ball left the hand of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.

"I was just thinking, 'Pick, pick,' " Apple said. "That's all I was thinking."

Alshon Jeffery had other ideas. The Eagles wide receiver stepped in front of Apple to snatch the pass for a 19-yard gain. Jeffery got out of bounds with one second left to set up Jake Elliott's 61-yard field that gave the Eagles a 27-24 win at the buzzer.

The bump from Jenkins really didn't affect Apple.
