The Jets, mired in the longest interception drought in NFL history, will be without their most accomplished interceptor Sunday against the Packers as former All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was ruled out with a groin injury.
The NFL's longest interception drought is a staggering storyline, but let's be real, folks, most of us here are squash enthusiasts. Still, it's hard not to notice when a sports phenomenon like this captures the attention of the broader athletic community.
