Julius Peppers sure looked fast on that INT return.

Julius Peppers scored his first touchdown in five years when he intercepted a Christian Ponder pass in the second quarter and returned it 49 yards for the TD. The last time Peppers scored came on a 13-yard INT return vs. Arizona in 2009 while playing for Carolina

That run back of the INT was incredible. Peppers has always been called an athletic freak and that was a pretty good display of it. The old guy still has some in the tank. He started slow, but I think he has hit his stride.

That dude he outran was like a 4.3 40 guy at the combine. So much for 35 being old, what a freak. Maybe we should give him some redzone snaps at TE.

It was a great return and Peppers has been every bit as good as I had hoped he'd be, but lets stop with this talk about how he outran the guy lol. The player in pursuit of Peppers had to jump a falling teammate and then when he finally had a shot to tackle him another Packer was there to give him a very light block (but enough to keep him from making the play).

Use your head not your heart on this award, seriously,why does he get the award? His INT was a tipped passed(lucky?) Lattimores' INT was much more impressive

Peppers pick was just part of why he was so named. He really deliver a fine performance. I'm hoping that with this mini-bye that players will heal up be ready to face the Dolphins in Miami. Some players have not practiced , I hope that is to allow some to gain back their strength and vigor. Sometimes rest is the best medicine. Also, it gives others a chance to hone their skills package. 😄
