Jets officially go entire season without recording an interception in NFL first since 1933
The New York Jets' defense reached a new, historic low on Sunday afternoon.
The Jets failed to pick off Mitchell Trubisky in their 35-8 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. With the Jets finishing the season at just 3-14, well out of playoff contention for a 15th straight season, they are now the first team in NFL history to go an entire campaign without at least one interception.
The NFL first started tracking interceptions as a stat back in 1933. Since then, no team has recorded fewer than two in a single season. The 2018 San Francisco 49ers team was the previous worst in this category with two, one fewer than both the Houston Texans in 2020 and the Houston Oilers in 1982. Only two other teams in NFL history have failed to record five interceptions in a single season.
Though it hasn’t been all bad, the Jets' defense has struggled for most of the season. They entered Sunday with just four recovered fumbles on the year, better than only three teams in the league, and allowing just more than 29 points per game, which is better than only two others. Their passing defense allowed an average of about 213 yards per game, which is right in the middle of the pack compared to the rest of the league, but they still couldn’t come up with a single interception.
