The season interception record is the most ridiculous thing in all of sports. (alien.top)

Set by Richard "night train" lane at 14 picks during his rookie season in 1952. With modern rules and schemes I just don't think anyone ever gets close.

It's more amazing to me that in a pass happy league, nobody's been able to surpass him

Teams are MUCH better at passing. It's impressive, but not as impressive when you see how many picks were thrown league wide back then. Someone had to catch them all.

I get the impression that defenders were allowed to get away with a lot more back then

I mean, in the modern game I feel like teams would just avoid the lethal DB, no?

just wait til it's Bland & Diggs next year. how do you avoid the lethal CB when both sides are ball hawks?
