Charles Woodson intercepted a pass and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown during the Green Bay Packers' 28-26 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 4 action on Sunday. In doing so, he became just the third player in National Football League history to have 10 career interception returns for touchdowns.
