Julian Love's interception of Jalen Hurts on "Monday Night Football" could go down as the play of the game as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 20-17.
The Eagles had a chance to drive a dagger into Seattle's chances. The Seahawks cut Philly's lead to 17-13 with a field goal with 10:00 to go in the game, but the Eagles responded to that by driving and looking good in the process.
Hurts found A.J. Brown for a gain of 15 to start the drive and two plays later found DeVonta Smith for 10 yards.
Philly went from its 25-yard line to Seattle's 45 in just a handful of plays, but then on first-and-10, the Eagles dialed up a long shot to Quez Watkins.
It could have been the knock-out blow for Seattle and it should have been because Watkins had a step, but Seattle safety Julian Love made up ground and played the ball perfectly in the air — coming down with a game-changing interception, his third of the season.

Unfortunately for the Seahawks, they went 3-and-out with their gifted possession, but that fact shouldn't take away from the clutch effort by Love.
