Four INTs, no sacks--ever happen before?

[John Gianelli]

I asked someone who should be able to find out, but has a quarterback ever thrown four INTs in a game and not been sacked? Seems to me that interceptions are usually the result of pressure on the QB, so for Brady to throw four of them without getting sacked once seemed a bit unusual.

Not to state the obvious but, just because they didnt get a sack doesn't mean there was no pressure. Pressure produces hurried throws, which would result in interceptions.

Also something like a ball popping up has both a degree of skill, and a lot of luck. It's not like all of them were crazy throws

There was not much pressure on Brady at all. The INTs were the result of the D line getting their hands up and making deflections, Brady hitting guys in the helmet , good luck that said deflections fell into the hands of Bills defenders, and the skill of the defenders holding onto the ball. The first INT was the result of a Pats receiver slipping and falling and florence making a very nice diving catch.

 

A combination of luck and skill is hard to beat!
