Entering Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, former LSU DB Jalen Mills hadn’t scored a touchdown in the NFL.
That all changed for the second-year Philadelphia Eagles defender late in the second quarter, as he snagged a pass by San Francisco QB C.J. Beathard and sliced his way through the 49ers’ offense for a pick-six.
As you can see in the video below, Mills showed some impressive moves on his long return, reversing field a couple of times before diving into the end zone:

Mills was a seventh-round pick by the Eagles in the 2016 NFL Draft, but has become an important part of Philadelphia’s defense.
The Eagles hold a 17-0 halftime lead over the 0-7 49ers, and Mills’ interception was the momentum-changer for the 6-1 Philadelphia squad.
