Devon Witherspoon stole the show in huge Seahawks win over Giants
The rookie CB was brilliant against the Giants in primetime
When the Seattle Seahawks used a first-round pick on cornerback Devon Witherspoon, plenty of people were calling out the NFC West side for taking him so early. The haters thought this was a total reach by John Schneider and Pete Carroll.
Well, what do those folks have to say now? Witherspoon was downright sensational in the Monday Night Football win over the New York Giants. Witherspoon had people off their seats when he intercepted Daniel Jones in the red zone and took it back 97 yards for a pick-six.

This was a terrible decision from Jones and Witherspoon made him pay for it. Replays show that Jones had a wide open Darren Waller in the end zone, but the former No. 6 overall pick missed him.
Witherspoon and the Seahawks were able to celebrate in style in East Rutherford and they're now 3-1 on the year. As for the Giants, they're a lowly 1-3.
