99-yard pick 6! Eagles' Sydney Brown takes Kyler Murray all the way back

The Philadelphia Eagles spent the season's first three months in control of the NFC, then let it slip away with three straight losses. If they're going to return to the Super Bowl, they'll need a bit of the big-play mojo they displayed Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Up 7-3, the Eagles were trying to contain Kyler Murray and the Cardinals as they reached the edge of the red zone. Murray lofted a pass for Wilson, but someone missed a sign, because the ball ended up in the hands of Philly's wide-open Sydney Brown. With a little help from his teammates and some clever broken-field running, Brown took the ball back 99 yards for a touchdown.

The touchdown gave Philadelphia a 14-3 lead, and the home team took a 21-6 lead into the locker room. The Cardinals then rallied back to stun the Eagles 35-31. With the Eagles' loss and their victory over the Commanders, the 49ers clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
