Which Colts player returned two interceptions for touchdowns in 2012?

The story behind the answer

Darius Butler returned two interceptions for touchdowns for the Indianapolis Colts in 2012. The cornerback produced both scores during a breakout season after joining Indianapolis early in the year.

One of Butler’s interception returns came against the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 8, 2012. He returned it 11 yards for a touchdown and finished that game with two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Earlier in the season, he had returned another interception 32 yards for a score against the Buffalo Bills.

The two touchdown returns were part of Butler’s four interceptions and 101 interception-return yards that season. A common mix-up is confusing Butler’s defensive touchdowns with other Colts return scores from 2012, including T.Y. Hilton’s punt return touchdown. Butler’s achievement specifically involved interceptions returned for touchdowns.
