Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted Tyson Bagent, ending the Jets' 20-game stretch without a defensive interception, Mike Garafolo reported.
Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo): Ashtyn Davis picked off Snoop Huntley on Jan 5, 2025. Today, Minkah Fitzpatrick picks off Tyson Bagent. The #Jets INT-less streak is over.
Garafolo noted that New York's previous pick came from Ashtyn Davis against Snoop Huntley on Jan. 5, 2025. The new interception snaps a drought that had stood as the longest in NFL history.
The Jets' streak was reported earlier today; this is the material development that closes it. Fitzpatrick's play gives New York its first defensive interception since Davis's pick and ends the record run during Sunday's game.
The interception also changes the immediate focus from how long the drought might continue to what New York can build from the takeaway. The historical mark is no longer active, and Bagent's pass gives the Jets the break in the streak they had been waiting for.
