description

Six-time Pro Bowl defensive back Eric Allen did more than just defend the pass in the Eagles' late season matchup with the Saints, he went on the attack himself and provided some scoring all on his own. On two different occasions, once in the third quarter, and again in the fourth, Allen picked off a pass from the Saints quarterback and ran it back for a touchdown. The two pick-sixes in this one gave him a total of four on the season, which tied a then-record, and helped Philadelphia to a 37-26 win over New Orleans in this matchup on Dec. 26, 1993.
