Eagles’ Darius Slay Talks Monday Night Matchup, Justin Jefferson & Dak's injury | The Pivot Podcast / Philly's cornerback Darius Slay, joins The
Pivot to talk about the Eagles this season, personal goals of legacy and hall of fame and how being a young father shaped the man he is today.
At the age of 13 years old, Darius' mother gave birth to him and he was raised mostly by his grandma but extremely close with his mother throughout his life to this day. Darius, a young father himself, expresses how his upbringing of community and love taught him the importance of how it takes a village to raise a child and helped him transition into being a father. Darius opens up to the guys that without his son, he wouldn't be where he is today because becoming a young father served as motivation and helped change his course from getting in trouble, jail time to hearing his name called in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions.
As the conversation moves toward football, Darius talks about how making it to the NFL gave him the opportunity to right the wrongs of some of his off the field troubles and the resources to help give back to the community that raised him and that taught him about life. Ryan asks how he feels about the NFC East rival losing Dak Prescott early and how it affects their mindset in the division. Darius, who is friends with the Cowboys quarterback from college days, hates to see a team lose its heartbeat but also is disappointed since he misses his chance to pick his old friend off this year.
Ranking as one of the most elite cornerbacks in the league, Darius talks about his journey from Detroit to Philadelphia and how it hasn't always been smooth but hoping that strong leadership helps lead his current team on a path to a championship. Impressed by Quarterback Jalen Hurts and his transcension to the Eagles leader, Darius thinks that Jalen is the one who can keep the offense firing this year and Darius says the defense is ready to match the offensive efforts. Darius feels the team has all the pieces in place to be a super bowl contender and gets goosebumps thinking about the team's potential.
Ahead of Monday Night's Matchup against Minnesota, Darius knows he has his work cut out for him facing off against one of the NFL's top wide receiver in Justin Jefferson- Darius says Jefferson is the 2nd best receiver in the league to Devante Adams and that he respects the explosiveness of his game. "I get paid millions of dollars to play a kid game, and I love it".

NFL 1991 Detroit Lions vs. 1969 Kansas City Chiefs • Full Game Simulation / Matchup between the 1991 Detroit Lions and the 1969 Kansas City Chiefs, two teams from different eras with their own unique strengths. On one side, you have the '91 Lions, a team that was defined by the electrifying running of Barry Sanders. That year, Sanders rushed for over 1,500 yards, showcasing his unique ability to make defenders miss and turn seemingly ordinary plays into highlight-reel moments. The Detroit Lions finished the season with a 12-4 record, making it to the NFC Championship game, a rare high point in the franchise's history.
On the other side, you have the '69 Chiefs, who were led by their stalwart quarterback, Len Dawson. This was the season that the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl, Super Bowl IV, with Dawson named the game's Most Valuable Player. The team's defense, known as the "65 Toss Power Trap," was also a significant factor in their success, making them a formidable opponent for any team. It's a clash of styles, with the Lions' dynamic offense going up against the Chiefs' rock-solid defense. It's a what-if scenario that any football fan would love to see play out.
