The man who made the big interception, after Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman tipped it, in the NFC Championship came up big in the Super Bowl as well. In the second quarter, Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and returned it 69 yards for a touchdown.

He was taking it up the side line when he began to cut into the middle of the field after passing all the Broncos’ players. That score gave the Seahawks a commanding 22-0 lead in the second quarter and it was the second interception that Manning has thrown so far in the game.

Smith finished it with a dunk.

Manning is still trying to figure out how to react.
