Night Train Lane's Interception Record

[Rocket Scientist]

I notice this record is over 60 years old and hasnt even been tied or broken.I know the eras were different and Night Train himself was a rookie when he got 14 ints how come nobody in this era where DB's study more and are more athletic has threaten this record?I know QB's throw away from great corners but this record has stood the test of time

DBs getting called for PI, 5 yard bump rule for DBs, more of the back shoulder throw to WRs from QBs

Still even with those rules and obstacles DB's can get 10 int's (in a great season) but not 15.

QBs tend to throw away from you if you're good.....

yeah, not just him either. a lot of the all time leaders dont come from less pass happy eras.

True but even shutdown corners can get 2 int's in a game.Maybe some are more a gambler and some arent?

I don't think that record will ever get broken.

If night train played that way today sadly he never get even one Int cuz he get a penalty every game

Goodell would fine him and suspend him

I know one player came within 1 int of tying his record plenty of DB's had at least 10 int's in a season.You never know I think it can,it may come thru a ball hawking safety though.Time will tell. Im just glad Night Train gets his mention as one of the Goats

Night Train used to give dudes the Stan Hansen lariat.

It's a different league, no one will ever touch that record because the league administrators don't want balls to be intercepted

A corner won't get it, a safety could though. I remember Reed and Sharper having a couple 9 int seasons.
