Jets End Historic Regular Season Interception Drought
The New York Jets finally ended their historic streak of not having an interception in the regular season. The streak dated back to Week 18 in 2024, when they picked off two passes from then-Dolphins QB Tyler Huntley. This season's regular season pick-less streak still lives on.
However, on Friday against the Steelers, Jets safety Andre Cisco finally broke the curse by intercepting a pass from QB Will Howard in the second quarter. Six minutes into the quarter, Howard fired a pass toward the front of the end zone that instead found Cisco's hands, who took it back to the 30-yard line.
Cisco wasn't done yet - just six minutes later, Samuel Womack picked off another Steelers drive after the Jets punted. Unfortunately for the Jets, this possession didn’t end with a score either, Cade York missed a 59-yard field goal attempt at the halftime buzzer.
