The New York Jets snapped one of the most ignominious droughts in NFL history on Sunday when safety Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a pass from Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, according to ESPN.
The turnover ended a lengthy stretch without an interception for the Jets' defense, a streak that had become a notable talking point around the struggling franchise this season.
Despite the milestone, the Jets were unable to turn the takeaway into a victory, continuing to sputter in other facets of the game as they fell to the Bears. The result leaves New York searching for consistency even as individual bright spots, like Fitzpatrick's interception, offer some encouragement.
