New interception leader: Aqib Talib

Cornerback Aqib Talib's third interception of the season gives him the team lead in that category.

The guy just has a nose for the ball and won't be denied when it's in the air and up for grabs. He even fielded a punt that he wasn't supposed to when return man Dexter Jackson backed off. He just can't help himself.

"He loves the ball," coach Jon Gruden said. "I have a lot of confidence and a lot of respect for his ability. I think he's going to be a premier corner in the league. But he's got to continue to work. He knows that. He's got to continue to refine his game."
