Not only was Manning’s interception hilarious for everyone outside of New York but it was one of the more spectacular catches that someone Manning has ever thrown the ball to in his career.
DeAndre Levy went all out to make the interception happen, as it’s probably the hardest interception Manning has thrown. Levy made it happen though and somehow kept the ball from hitting the ground.
The Lions defense needs to have guys like Levy step up all season long and he’s been an interception machine the past few years at linebacker. That’s huge for Detroit as their secondary has been suspect at times, and having Levy step up is big.
Manning has since thrown his second interception of the season, which means not only is football back but so is the Eli Manning face.
