Devon Witherspoon has arrived, folks.

The former Illinois defensive back took over Monday Night Football’s matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants. By the time smoke had cleared, the Seahawks DB had notched 7 tackles, 2 sacks (team-high), 4 QB pressures and a pick 6 to top it all off.

Here’s his scoring play, his first NFL touchdown which turned into potentially a 14-point swing in favor of Seattle.

Talk about ridiculous. The above return not only changed the game, but it stands as the 2nd longest interception return for a score in Seahawks history.

It was also his first career interception.

As you can guess, fans had plenty to say about Witherspoon’s breakout evening against the Giants on the national stage. Here’s some of the best reactions we found:
