<p>In <a href="Ball_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Ball game">ball-playing</a> <a href="Competitive_sport" class="mw-redirect" title="Competitive sport">competitive</a> <a href="Team_sport" title="Team sport">team sports</a>, an <b>interception</b> or <b>pick</b> is a move by a player involving a pass of the ball—whether by foot or hand, depending on the rules of the sport—in which the ball is intended for a player of the same team but caught or otherwise brought under control by a player of the opposing team, who thereby usually gains possession of the ball for their team. It is commonly seen in <a href="Football" title="Football">football</a>, including <a href="American_football" title="American football">American</a> and <a href="Canadian_football" title="Canadian football">Canadian football</a>, as well as <a href="Association_football" title="Association football">association football</a>, <a href="Rugby_league" title="Rugby league">rugby league</a>, <a href="Rugby_union" title="Rugby union">rugby union</a>, <a href="Australian_rules_football" title="Australian rules football">Australian rules football</a> and <a href="Gaelic_football" title="Gaelic football">Gaelic football</a>, as well as any sport by which a loose object is passed between players toward a goal. In basketball, this is called a <a href="Steal_(basketball)" title="Steal (basketball)">steal</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gridiron_football">Gridiron football</h2></div>

<p>In <a href="American_football" title="American football">American football</a> and <a href="Canadian_football" title="Canadian football">Canadian football</a>, an interception occurs when a <a href="Forward_pass" title="Forward pass">forward pass</a> that has not yet touched the ground is caught by a player of the defensive team.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This leads to an immediate change of possession during the play, and the defender who caught the ball can immediately attempt to move the ball as far towards the opposing end zone as possible, up to a touchdown. Following the stoppage of play, if the interceptor retained possession of the ball, his team takes over possession at the spot where he was downed. Because possession is a critical component in these sports, a successful interception can be a dramatic reversal of the teams' fortunes.

</p><p>Interceptions are predominantly made by the <a href="Defensive_back" title="Defensive back">secondary</a> or (on some occasions) the <a href="Linebacker" title="Linebacker">linebackers</a>, who are usually closest to the quarterback's intended targets: the <a href="Wide_receiver" title="Wide receiver">wide receivers</a>, <a href="Running_back" title="Running back">running backs</a>, and <a href="Tight_end" title="Tight end">tight ends</a>. Less frequently, a <a href="Lineman_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lineman (American football)">defensive lineman</a> may get an interception from a tipped ball, a near sack, a shovel pass, or a <a href="Screen_pass" title="Screen pass">screen pass</a>, but are more likely to force a fumble than get an interception. As soon as a pass is intercepted, everyone on the defense changes their play to become a <a href="Blocking_(American_football)" title="Blocking (American football)">blocker</a>, keeping opposing players away while helping the person with the interception get as much yardage as possible and perhaps a touchdown (commonly called a "<b>pick-six</b>", since a touchdown is worth 6 points); at the same time, everyone on the offense becomes the defense and attempts to <a href="Tackle_(football_move)#Gridiron_football" title="Tackle (football move)">tackle</a> the ball-carrier. If the interception occurs on an extra-point attempt, rather than an ordinary play from scrimmage, a return of the interception to the other end zone is sometimes called a "<b>pick-two</b>", as it is a defensive two-point conversion rather than a touchdown. For example, on December 4, 2016, the <a href="Kansas_City_Chiefs" title="Kansas City Chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> strong safety <a href="Eric_Berry" title="Eric Berry">Eric Berry</a> scored the game-winning points via a pick-two in a 29–28 victory over the <a href="Atlanta_Falcons" title="Atlanta Falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a>. Berry also achieved an ordinary pick-six earlier in the same game.<sup id="cite_ref-pick-two_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pick-two-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>If the intercepting team has the lead and there is little time left in the game, the intercepting player may down the ball immediately and not attempt to gain any yardage; the team then runs out the clock using scrimmage plays. This eliminates the chance of a fumble that could be recovered by the other team. There are also player safety implications: when the ball is turned over, the play is now suddenly and unexpectedly moving in the opposite direction. All of the players on offense are instantly susceptible to unexpected blocks, even if not attempting to stop the ball carrier; a hard and unseen block can result in severe injuries. Additionally, offensive players, particularly the quarterback, are often inexperienced tacklers and are at risk of injuring themselves while tackling the ball carrier.

</p><p>Only the interception of a forward pass is recorded statistically as an interception, for both the passer and the intercepting player. If a receiver fails to catch the ball and bobbles or tips it before it is intercepted, even if his action was entirely responsible for the interception, it is always recorded as an interception thrown by the passer. The interception of a lateral pass is recorded as a fumble by the passer.

He was known for covering his chest, shoulders and forearms with a copious amount of the adhesive <a href="Stickum" title="Stickum">Stickum</a> to help him hold on to the ball. After the NFL outlawed the use of such foreign substances in 1981, Hayes' success rate at interceptions dropped below average; though that could be due to his reputation as a "shutdown cornerback", which discouraged opposing teams from throwing to his side of the field. He continued to use the substance, which he called "pick juice", by having it applied in smaller amounts to his wrists.

</p><p><a href="Paul_Krause" title="Paul Krause">Paul Krause</a> holds the record for most career interceptions with 81. He played his first three years in the NFL from 1964 to 1967 with the <a href="Washington_Redskins" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington Redskins">Washington Redskins</a> but was traded to the <a href="Minnesota_Vikings" title="Minnesota Vikings">Minnesota Vikings</a>, where he spent most of his career.

</p><p><a href="Aaron_Rodgers" title="Aaron Rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> holds the record for the most consecutive pass attempts without an interception with 402 during the <a href="2018_NFL_season" title="2018 NFL season">2018 NFL season</a>. He only threw two interceptions that entire season. On December 26, 2010, Brady overtook the previous record of 308 consecutive completed passes without an interception, held by <a href="Bernie_Kosar" title="Bernie Kosar">Bernie Kosar</a> of the Cleveland Browns since 1991. Kosar's regular-season streak of pass attempts without an interception ended on November 10, 1991, against the Philadelphia Eagles.

</p><p>On October 6, 2013, <a href="Matt_Schaub" title="Matt Schaub">Matt Schaub</a> became the first quarterback to throw a "pick-six" (an interception returned for a touchdown) in four consecutive games, while playing against the <a href="San_Francisco_49ers" title="San Francisco 49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

The significance of this play led it to be dubbed by many as simply "The Interception".

</p><p>In 2019, despite having a career high and league-leading 5,000 yards passing, <a href="Jameis_Winston" title="Jameis Winston">Jameis Winston</a> of the <a href="Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers" title="Tampa Bay Buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> threw for a total of 30 interceptions, the most interceptions in the league since Vinny Testaverde's 35 in 1988, giving Winston a career total of 87 interceptions at the season's end. Winston's season high came on October 13 against the Carolina Panthers, when he recorded a total of five interceptions. Winston's seven pick-6s in that season set an NFL record, and his last interception, a pick-six to the Atlanta Falcons to lose the game in overtime, made him the only quarterback to ever throw at least 30 touchdowns along with 30 interceptions in a season. Winston's penchant for turnovers (both interceptions and fumbles), including six interceptions across the last two regular season games that were losses, led to him not being re-signed by the Buccaneers.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Rugby">Rugby</h2></div>

<p>Because of the relatively strict <a href="Offside_(rugby)" title="Offside (rugby)">offside</a> law in both codes of <a href="Rugby_football" title="Rugby football">rugby</a>, and the requirement that all passes be backward, interceptions are difficult to achieve. However, when they occur, the side who loses possession is suddenly out of formation to defend, and the interceptor may be able to sprint down the field for a spectacular try.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
