Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. An interception (INT), also known as a pick, is a gridiron football concept involving a pass being caught by an opposition player, who usually gains possession for his team. Record-keeping for interception counts in the National Football League (NFL) began in 1940. The record for most interceptions in a single season is held by Night Train Lane, who logged 14 interceptions in 1952, while playing for the Los Angeles Rams.[1] Previously Dan Sandifer of Washington and Spec Sanders of the New York Yanks jointly held the record, earning 13 interceptions, in 1948 and 1950, respectively. The record for most league-leading seasons in interceptions is 3. This was first achieved by Everson Walls, who led the league in interceptions in 1981, 1982, and again in 1985.[2] Ed Reed was later able to match Walls, by leading the league in 2004, 2008, and 2010.[3] Bill Bradley became the first player to lead the league in interceptions in consecutive seasons (1971 and 1972).[4] The aforementioned Walls matched Bradley with his 1981 and 1982 efforts. The most recent players to lead the league in interceptions was a tie between four players Minkah Fitzpatrick, C. J. Gardner-Johnson, Justin Simmons and Tariq Woolen who all finished with 6 on the season.

Don Hutson, a two-way player, co-led the league in interceptions in 1940.[5]
Night Train Lane led the league in interceptions as a rookie in 1952.[6] In doing so, he also set the current record for most interceptions in a season.[7]

Ed Reed is one of two players to lead the league in interceptions a record three times (2004, 2008, and 2010).[8] He also holds the record for most career interception return yardage.[9]
