- Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a Tyson Bagent play-action pass intended for Colston Loveland on second-and-12 at the Jets' 35, ending New York's 637-day, 20-game interception drought in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears.
- The Jets became the first team in NFL history to finish a season with zero interceptions in 2025 — Aaron Glenn's first year as head coach — extending the streak through the first three weeks of 2026.
- Tyson Bagent, serving as Chicago's fill-in quarterback, threw a pass with a slight wobble that allowed Fitzpatrick to dart in front of Loveland and make the historic pick.
- Jason Sanders converted the takeaway into three points with a 36-yard field goal for New York.
- The Jets' last prior interception came in Week 18 of the 2024 season on January 5, 2025, when they picked off Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley twice in that game.
Why it matters: The pick ends the only zero-interception season in NFL history (2025) and a 20-game futility streak that lasted 637 days — a record no team wanted. For Aaron Glenn's defense, Fitzpatrick's takeaway offers the first evidence of actual ball-hawking after a year-plus of historic drought.
