PHILADELPHIA- The highlight of the Temple weekend in week 15 of the NFL season was Keith Kirkwood (2014-17) scoring his first touchdown of the season, and third of his career in the NFL. Kirkwood and the New Orleans Saints beat the New York Giants, 24-6. Kirkwood, a Neptune, N.J. native, growing up close to Giants Stadium, put the Saints ahead early and they never looked back.
