Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay took responsibility for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Drake London in the Atlanta Falcons' 22-21 upset of the Eagles on Monday night.

Slay told London, "Good route," after the wideout beat the veteran defensive back for a seven-yard touchdown with 34 seconds remaining. Slay later took to X to point the finger at himself, writing: "That's on me Philly!! I owe yall one. DAMN!!!!!"

With the loss, Philly fell to 1-1 on the season, and it has now lost seven of its past nine games dating back to last season, including the playoffs.
