This wasn’t your basic interception by your typical interceptor.

Vince Wilfork stands 6-foot-2 and weighs a svelte 325 pounds & generally is an immovable object in the middle of the New England Patriots’ defensive line.  Check out his his first career interception after the jump…

That was no defensive back picking off Rivers’ pass intended for Mike Tolbert. That was the mountainous Vince Wilfork doing his DB impersonation, taking off down the field on a 36-yard jaunt into San Diego territory — “rumblin’, stumblin’, tumbling,” according to Pats linebacker Jerod Mayo.

Wilfork didn’t get into the end zone, but he did set up a field goal nine seconds later on the final play of the first half that put the Pats on top, 20-7, en route to a 35-21 win.

It was the first NFL interception for Wilfork, in his eighth year in the league. And he thought he had a chance to score.

“Yeah, I did. Any time you get your hands on the ball you think about scoring as a defensive player,” said Wilfork, who actually was tripped up by teammate Devin McCourty. McCourty was flagged for hitting Tolbert from behind as the Chargers’ running back tried to reach out for Wilfork.
