Justin Tuck "in awe" at Jason Pierre-Paul interception

Tuck "in awe" at Pierre-Paul interception

New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck has admitted that he was "in awe" of Jason Pierre-Paul's interception return touchdown during yesterday's match against the Green Bay Packers.

Pierre-Paul picked off a Scott Tolzien pass in the fourth quarter with the Packers threatening to overturn a seven-point deficit, returning it 24 yards to seal a 27-13 win for his side.

Tuck revealed that Pierre-Paul had called the interception in the team huddle before the play, and he admitted that it was the first time he had seen anything like it.

"I have never seen anything like it before in my life. We were literally in a TV timeout and he said, 'I'm going to pick this,'" Tuck told The AP.

"If you look at my reaction to him picking it, I was in awe because he had just called it before it happened.

"He called it before seeing the formation, so I don't know if it was Voodoo. I don't know."

The win was the Giants' fourth in a row, lifting them to third in the NFC East.
