You've heard of players signing with rival teams; it's going to happen, as their only 32 teams in the NFL. You go where the money is. At the end of the day, the NFL is a business.
Although for this former Minnesota Vikings practice squad player, it's more than just business. Nahshon Wright only played in one game last season for the Vikings, remaining on the practice squad for the rest of his tenure. He was released on April 7th of this year and would sign with the Chicago Bears, the rival NFC North team.
Well, it looked like Wright had that game bookmarked on the schedule as the Bears against his former team in the season opener on Monday Night Football.
In the Vikings' first drive of the second half, Minnesota QB JJ McCarthy threw his first career interception to none other than Wright. He would go to take it 74 yards to the house for a pick six.
