The New York Jets have many lowlights associated with their poor 3-14 season.
But one in particular stands out - the Jets became the first team in NFL history to go the entire season without recording a single interception.
The NFL has been recording that statistic since 1933.
New York had a chance to end the drought in the season finale but cornerback Tre Brown was unable to corral a deflected pass that came in his direction during Sunday's 35-8 road loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The ball went off the hands of Buffalo's Keon Coleman and Brown got his left hand on it before the ball dropped to the turf.
'Yeah, I wanted that one bad,' Brown told the New York Post afterward. 'I wanted it to end the streak for the team and also to get one for myself. It's been a crazy year.
'To go 17 games without getting one is kind of unheard of. But hey, things happen for a reason. Maybe we'll turn it around and lead the league next year.'
The previous record for fewest interceptions in a season was held by the 2018 San Francisco 49ers, who had just two.
Ironically, Jets coach Aaron Glenn was a solid ballhawk during his 15-year playing career, totaling 41 interceptions in 205 career games from 1994-2008. Glenn returned six of the picks for touchdowns.
Not only did the Jets not register an interception, they allowed a league-worst 36 passing touchdowns.
