pick six
Intercepted for six
A pick six is an interception returned for a touchdown in American football—the defender "picks" the pass and scores six points.
The term captures the dramatic swing when a defensive play produces offensive points: The quarterback's pass was jumped for a pick six.
In casual usage, pick six sometimes refers to any costly turnover.
