What Pass Int is

Interceptions thrown. Each one ends a drive and hands the ball over, so it is among the most costly single events in a game. It is only partly repeatable season to season — some of it is the quarterback, some of it is tipped balls and luck.

Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
