          PHILADELPHIA -- New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore made his return from injury worth the wait Sunday. Lattimore, who has not played since Oct. 9, showed what's been missing from the Saints' defense with a fourth quarter pick-six that sealed a win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

          The Saints held a 13-10 lead with 5:30 left in the fourth quarter and the offense struggling after punting on their last five possessions. Two plays into the Eagles' offensive drive, Lattimore snagged a pass by quarterback Gardner Minshew intended for A.J. Brown.

          Lattimore, who almost had a pick earlier in the game, then took it back 12 yards for a touchdown, putting the Saints up 20-10 in the final six minutes.

          It was the first interception by a Saints cornerback all season. New Orleans has struggled with turnovers and entered Sunday tied for last in the league with four interceptions as a team. They were also last with 11 takeaways.
