Eagles' Josh Sweat intercepts Cowboys' Dak Prescott for 42-yard pick-six

In a season full of highlights for the Philadelphia Eagles, defensive end Josh Sweat put his hat in the ring for top honors with a 42 yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter against the Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys were trying to respond to the Eagles' opening field goal with a drive of their own but were stopped by Sweat. The quarterback rolled left on second down from the Dallas 42 yard-line, but Sweat snatched the ball out of the air at the last moment.

He showed off his strength with a stiff-arm on Prescott to break loose and then his speed by racing away from the pack for the touchdown.

In the last five games, he has thrown an intercept, tying for the longest streak of his career. He threw two pick-sixes in a row after Jacksonville's game-winning pick last week.

According to the Eagles, Sweat is the only defensive lineman in the league to return an pick six for a touchdown. He entered the game with a lot of sacks.

If the Eagles win on Saturday, they'll be the top seed in the playoffs.
