Jets Enter Finale Still Seeking First Interception in Potential NFL First

Overview

• New York has recorded zero interceptions through 16 games and could become the first team since record-keeping began in 1933 to finish a season without one.
• The previous single-season low is two by the 2018 49ers, and the Jets would need two picks against Buffalo to avoid holding a new standalone low.
• First-year head coach Aaron Glenn dismissed defensive coordinator Steve Wilks on Dec. 15 after a 48-point loss to the Jaguars.
• The Jets’ projected Week 18 defensive starters have combined for four career interceptions, highlighting limited takeaway production across the unit.
• Coverage suggests the team may target turnover-oriented defenders in the offseason, with veteran safeties cited as potential options.
