All-time great Deion Sanders has nine interceptions returned for touchdowns in his illustrious career—Aqib Talib now has 10.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was looking for Dez Bryant late in the game, when the awaiting Talib snagged the ball and returned it 103 yards to the house, extending Denver’s lead to 42-17. The interception and two passes defensed on the day helped Talib to a 84.3 Pro Football Focus rating for the game and 86.6 overall after two weeks, second best In the league.

With his 10th touchdown, Talib join elite territory as only three players have more TD returns in their career: Rod Woodson, with 12, Charles Woodson and Darren Sharper, with 11 each.
