Will the Jets Make History? The Quest for an Entire Season Without an Interception (2026)

The Jets are on a mission to avoid a historic blunder on Sunday. After a humiliating loss to the Patriots in Week 17, it's clear that the Jets' defense has been underperforming. The opposing quarterbacks have had a field day, completing an astonishing 64.8% of their passes for 3,590 yards, resulting in 7.4 yards per attempt, 32 touchdown passes, and zero interceptions. If Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky can keep their passes away from the Jets' interceptors, they'll set a record for the longest streak without an interception in a single season or over multiple seasons. This would be a first since 1933, as noted by Adam Schefter of ESPN. Even if they avoid this ignominious achievement, the Jets will need two interceptions to avoid a new low for a single season, as the 2018 49ers finished with just two interceptions. This lack of interceptions is just one of the many issues plaguing the Jets this season, serving as a stark reminder of the extensive work needed during the offseason.
