Darius Slay Jr. sent Meek Mill home from “Sunday Night Football” with a gift … the Philly rapper got the Eagles stars interception ball as a souvenir.
The Eagles had been leading the Cowboys, 17-0, on “SNF” … when Slay intercepted a Cooper Rush pass intended for wide receiver Michael Gallup.
After a short return, Slay, with his teammates nearby, approached Meek and gave the INT ball to the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper after dapping him up.

Meek — who had performed his iconic “Dreams and Nightmares” song before the game — had good reason to celebrate throughout the night … Philly was dominating the Cowboys.

In his third year with the team, Slay is having a monster season in the Eagles’ secondary … and has made it a tradition to hand over INT footballs to A-list celebs at home games.
Earlier this season on “Monday Night Football,” 31-year-old Slay gifted 76ers star James Harden his INT ball after picking off a pass from Vikings QB Kirk Cousins.
Speaking of Harden, his Sixers teammate Joel Embiid — who hit up the Phillies’ closeout game against the Braves on Saturday — got some facetime with Jill Biden at the game.
