What happened: Green Bay and Seattle each have seven interceptions through Week 5 of the 2026 regular season. Jacksonville, Minnesota and the New York Giants each have six.

Why it matters: Early takeaway margins decide field position and shape conference positioning before the Week 6 slate. Offenses drawing the ball-hawking secondaries face tighter windows and costlier turnovers.

By the numbers: Green Bay Packers 7; Seattle Seahawks 7; Jacksonville Jaguars 6; Minnesota Vikings 6; New York Giants 6.

What to watch: Week 6 matchups will show whether the co-leaders separate from the three teams one interception back.
