The Vikings lead the NFC with 112 points, and their defense is tied for the league lead with 11 interceptions.
How big is the AFC West game between the Chiefs and Broncos, both 4-0? The Chiefs are trying for the first 5-0 start in team history. A 5-0 start is nothing new to the Broncos. They have been 5-0 three times in franchise history, and went to the Super Bowl each time.
The idea of the two-way player is nothing new. Warren Sapp of the Bucs isn't the only defensive player to find his way into the end zone. Since 2000, here is a list of the defensive players who have scored offensive touchdowns. Note: The NFL considers a fake field goal an offensive score.
Sept. 21, 2003: Bucs DT Warren Sapp, 6-yard reception, vs. Falcons.
Sept. 29, 2002: Patriots LB Mike Vrabel, 1-yard reception, vs. Chargers.
Sept. 29, 2002: Eagles S Brian Dawkins, 57-yard reception (fake punt), vs. Texans.
Dec. 23, 2001: Bears LB Brian Urlacher, 27-yard reception (fake field goal), vs. Redskins.
Dec. 24, 2000: Redskins CB Champ Bailey, 7-yard run, vs. Cardinals.
Sept. 17, 2000: Jets CB Marcus Coleman, 45-yard reception, vs. Bills.
