Falcons records that are unlikely to be broken: Scott Case’s bushel of interceptions

In the entire history of the NFL, just 75 players have managed to snag double digit interceptions in a single season. Just 6 of those players have managed to do so since 2000, which tells you that piling up that many picks in one year is becoming an increasingly rare feat. No one since 1981 has managed to even top 11, which means Dick “Night Train” Lane’s awesome nickname and NFL record 14 interceptions is likely to stand forever.

Similarly, the Falcons single season record for interceptions is unlikely to be toppled at any point in the immediate future, given the way passing games have been bolstered and pass defense have largely been neutered.
