For the second game in a row, Raiders safety Charles Woodson came up big with an interception. While this one against the Bears wasn't of the game-sealing variety as it was against the Browns in week 3, it was still big. And this one had some history attached to it.
The former cornerback came into the game ranked 11th all time with 61 career interceptions. A rank he had held since last season when he passed up Emmitt Thomas (58).
Sunday was Woodson's 62nd career interception which put him in a three-way tie for ninth all-time along with Dave Brown and Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau.
He has now officially reached rarified air and from here, every interception means a another spot. The next interception would move him into a tie for 8th All-time with Darren Sharper and Ronnie Lott (63). Another INT after that, he moves into a tie for 6th all time with Ed Reed (64). The next one after that puts him in the top five, tied with Ken Riley (65).
