MJ Devonshire may have only had two tackles on the night but the talented defensive back literally helped end the game. He was able to pick off quarterback Sam Howell on fourth down in overtime to stop any miraculous comeback for North Carolina as they clawed their way back being down as many as 23-7 in the second half.

The Pennsylvania native in Devonshire was huge in making the pick for Pittsburgh and securing the win. This was his first career interception in a Panthers uniform.

Pittsburgh fans are hoping that many more interceptions can follow during his career in the Steel City.
