Philadelphia Eagles offensive line reacts against the New Orleans Saints during the fourth quarter at Lincoln Financial Field on January 01, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Marshon Lattimore returned an interception 11 yards for a late New Orleans touchdown, and the Philadelphia Eagles' bid for the top seed in the NFC took a serious dent with a 20-10 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Andy Dalton, who threw for 204 yards, completed his first 13 passes, including a 58-yard reception by Rashid Shaheed. That play set up one of two field goals by Wil Lutz in the first half that gave the Saints a 13-0 lead.
