The first interception of the season by a New Orleans Saints cornerback came Sunday at a huge time.
Marshon Lattimore, who hadn’t played in two months due to a lacerated kidney, picked Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter at the Linc to give the Saints a 20-10 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Saints desperately needed the victory to keep their playoff hopes alive heading into Week 18. They needed a lot of help, including a Bucs loss to Carolina in Week 17.
Minshew telegraphed the pass and Lattimore jumped it and cruised into the end zone from 11 yards.
