Tied at 14 apiece, the ball was in the hands of quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots were at the Philadelphia 5-yard line, a sight the Eagles did not want to see. A New England touchdown would swing the momentum, but Malcolm Jenkins and Walter Thurmond weren’t about to let that happen.
The Patriots snapped the ball into the veteran signal-caller’s hands. He looked to receiver Danny Amendola and released, but what happened next is history. The Eagles came away with their first-ever interception of the future Hall of Famer.
Thurmond tipped the ball, allowing Jenkins to make the catch and take off running.
