What is Interception?
{{redirect|Interception}} An '''interception''' or '''intercept''' is a move in [[football]] that happens when a player on the defensive team catches a ball from the [[quarterback]] instead of the intended receiver. When this is done, the player's team who had caught the [[ball]], would gain [[possession]] of it. Many [[league]]s use interceptions, some are [[Canadian football]] and [[American football]], as well as [[rugby league]], [[rugby union]], [[Australian rules football]] and [[Gaelic football]]. The most common players to get interceptions are defensive backs. == Other websites == * [http://www.nfl.com/history/randf NFL.com Record and Fact Book] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071227144108/http://www.nfl.com/history/randf |date=2007-12-27 }} {{sport-stub}} [[Category:American football]] [[Category:Rugby]] [[Category:Sports words]]
