Thirty players in NFL history have accumulated at least 100 sacks in a career, including 10 Hall of Famers. Hundreds of players have intercepted at least 10 passes in their careers (OK, that isn't quite as impressive). But never in history has a player done both in a career.

With his 49-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter of Thursday night's 42-10 drubbing of the Vikings, the Packers' Julius Peppers became the first player in NFL history with at least 100 sacks and 10 interceptions in a career.

For added measure, it was Peppers' first TD as a Packer, the third team for whom he scored a defensive TD (Carolina and Chicago are the others), and his first Lambeau Leap.

And the leap:

And the love:

Oh, and Peppers added a half a sack in the game, giving him 120.5 for his career.
