The Philadelphia Eagles secured a contentious 15-12 victory over the New Orleans Saints, marked by escalating tensions following key plays involving Trevor Penning and Darius Slay, as well as Khristian Boyd's hit on DeVonta Smith.

Cornerback Darius Slay expressed frustration on his podcast, highlighting the aggressive nature of the Saints' play and expressing concern for teammate Smith, who suffered a concussion. He believes the NFL should impose fines for the hits. In contrast, Saints coach Dennis Allen defended his team's physicality, asserting they do not play dirty.
