Overview
- Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a Tyson Bagent pass in the second quarter on Sunday, giving the Jets their first official regular-season interception in 636 pass attempts.
- An earlier apparent interception by defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat in the first quarter was overturned after a flag on cornerback Azareye'h Thomas for illegal use of hands.
- Fitzpatrick’s pick came in his first game back after leaving the season opener with a groin injury and was widely shared on social media by NFL insiders.
- New York enters the moment 1-2 on the season and head coach Aaron Glenn, who has stressed fundamentals over chasing the stat, remains under pressure to create more turnovers.
- The last Jets regular-season interception came on Jan. 5, 2025, when Ashtyn Davis had two picks, and the team went the entire 2025 season without a single interception which made the streak an NFL record of concern.
