What Pass int perc is

Interception rate: interceptions thrown divided by pass attempts, as a percentage. The rate version of interceptions, so a team that throws a lot is not punished simply for volume.

Lower is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.

In 2023 the Chargers led at 1.26; the league average was 2.33.
