Trevon Diggs interception streak: Cowboys CB nears NFL file amid breakout season

NFL QBs difficult Trevon Diggs might discover themselves in a gap.

The Cowboys defensive again has been off to a ridiculous begin in 2021, with six interceptions in 5 video games, main a Cowboys defensive renaissance below new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. 

Diggs has picked off some marquee QBs to start out the 2021 season, working his consecutive video games with an interception streak to 5. He is bought a good shot to make it six video games in a row with a choose when the Cowboys face rookie QB Mac Jones and the Patriots in Week 6.

The DB is coming off a promising rookie season, however is off to a historic begin to his sophomore season: Even Troy Aikman is impressed, evaluating him to Deion Sanders. That is fairly hefty reward. 

Trevon Diggs’ interception streak

With seven interceptions in six video games, Diggs has one interception in each sport to date this season, and he wants three extra video games with a choose to match the all-time INT streak of eight video games.

That is with a catch, although: Tom Morrow’s streak of eight consecutive video games with an interception stretched throughout two seasons with the Raiders (1962-1963). The one-season mark is six video games, held by three gamers, together with Tom Landry — sure, that Tom Landry — who set the file within the Fifties with the Giants. 

Diggs has interceptions off the next QBs:

• Week 1: Tom Brady, Buccaneers (Buccaneers win 31-29)
• Week 2: Justin Herbert, Chargers (Cowboys win, 20-17)
• Week 3: Jalen Hurts, Eagles (Cowboys win 41-21)
• Week 4: Sam Darnold, Panthers (twice, Cowboys win 36-28)
• Week 5: Mike Glennon, Giants (Cowboys win, 44-20)
• Week 6: Mac Jones, Patriots

Coming into Week 6, Diggs had 10 cross breakups to date in 2021, simply 4 off his 2020 complete of 14. If he retains the tempo — and QBs maintain difficult him — he might surpass Darrelle Revis’ mark of 31, set in 2009 with the Jets.

He is already doubled his rookie season complete of three interceptions — and he did it earlier than Week 5.

Whereas Diggs could make a run on the consecutive video games with an INT mark, he has a methods to go to to set the NFL mark for interceptions in a season. Dick “Evening Prepare” Lane holds the file for many interceptions in a single season with 14, a mark that was set in 1952, his rookie season.

If that occurs, he may develop into a greater receiver than his brother.
