The list: NFL’s longest streak without an interception

Posted: Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012

Cam Newton’s streak of 152 consecutive passes without an interception is a Panthers record. But the second-year quarterback has a ways to go before threatening the NFL mark. The top five interception-less streaks in league history:

1 Tom Brady, 358 passes: Brady, who set the mark from 2010-11, also owns the record for most passes (162) at the start of a career without an INT.

2 Bernie Kosar, 308: Established in 1990-91, Kosar’s last two full seasons with the Browns.

3 Bart Starr, 294: Accomplished in an era (1964-65) when teams didn’t throw as much.

4 Jeff George, 279: After the streak ended in 1994, the then-Falcons QB threw 18 picks that season.

5 Rich Gannon, 277: Set in 2001, a season before Gannon threw a Super Bowl-record five INTs in a loss to Tampa Bay.
