👉 Interceptions, in American football, are a type of play that occurs when an opposing player attempts to catch and intercept a pass intended for another team's quarterback. Interceptions can occur on any part of the field, including the sidelines or even between players on defense. The goal is to prevent the ball from reaching its intended receiver, which is typically the quarterback. This action can be dangerous if it leads to an interception that results in a loss of yards or points for either team.
