Darius Slay leads the NFL in interceptions after picking off Mitchell Trubisky twice

Darius Slay’s day started with some bad news. Pro Bowl voting had ended and Darius Slay had been jumped by Vikings Xavier Rhodes as the highest vote-getter among NFC cornerbacks. Slay had been leading for every week, but he ended up finishing second in the conference, fourth among all corners.

But Slay made a statement on Saturday night. Mitchell Trubisky was intercepted twice by the Lions’ No. 1 cornerback, despite the fact that Slay had to leave for a series in the game while he underwent concussion tests.

With those two interceptions, Darius Slay now leads the entire NFL with seven picks.
