Jets end NFL-record interception drought in loss to Bears

by

New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted Chicago quarterback Tyson Bagent on Oct. 4, ending the team’s 20-game streak without a pick. The Jets lost to the Bears, 23–12.

The drought stretched across 643 opponent pass attempts. New York’s previous interception came from Ashtyn Davis in the 2024 season finale.

Fitzpatrick’s interception set up the Jets at Chicago’s 34-yard line, and they turned it into a field goal. Three other potential Jets interceptions were erased by penalties.

“I don’t think we did anything well that we wanted to do well,” Fitzpatrick said. Coach Aaron Glenn put the milestone in perspective: “We got an interception, great. God, we lost the game.”
