Catches by defenders
Interceptions are acts of catching or seizing something before it reaches its intended destination.
In American football, an interception occurs when a defensive player catches a pass meant for the opposing team: He led the league in interceptions.
The term applies to intercepted communications, missiles, or anything cut off mid-route: The interception of enemy transmissions proved decisive.
