What is an "interception"?

An interception in football occurs when a defender catches a pass that was meant for an offensive player, stopping the play. This usually happens when the quarterback throws the ball, but a defender is able to get in the way and catch it instead. The defender who intercepts the pass then tries to run the ball back toward the opponent’s goal. An interception is a major defensive play that can shift the momentum of the game, as it gives the defending team possession of the ball.

Example
