Pass deflected

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In American football a Pass deflected, also known as a Pass defensed, is an incomplete pass that is caused by a defensive player. This is done by slapping or blocking the ball, and is an important statistic for determining a defensive back's effectiveness. An interception is a subcategory of deflected passes, so is also counted in stat sheets as a deflected pass.
