Amani Hooker’s three interceptions give him the NFL lead alone at five after Week 8, and T.J. Watt ties Will Anderson Jr. for the sack lead

Titans safety Amani Hooker intercepted Joe Burrow three times in Sunday’s 43-36 overtime loss at Cincinnati. He now has five interceptions, two more than anyone else, and leads the NFL alone after Week 8. No player had picked off more than two passes in a game this season.

Six players had shared the lead at three after Weeks 5, 6 and 7, and none of them added one in Week 8. Three others joined the group at three: Tampa Bay linebacker Alex Anzalone, Cleveland cornerback Denzel Ward and Rams safety Quentin Lake.

T.J. Watt had two sacks in Pittsburgh’s 27-6 win over Cleveland and is tied with Houston’s Will Anderson Jr. for the sack lead at 7.5. Chase Young and Greg Rousseau are half a sack back at 7.0. Watt had been tied for fifth after Week 7.

Week 8 had 23 interceptions in 13 games through Sunday, or 1.77 a game, the highest rate of any week this season. Tampa Bay’s four against Atlanta moved the Buccaneers to 12 for the season, two more than Green Bay. The Jets still have one in eight games.

Tennessee and Pittsburgh both have a bye, so Hooker and Watt cannot add to their totals. Anderson and the Texans visit the Chargers, so half a sack would give him the lead alone. Anzalone, Ward and Lake can each get within one interception of Hooker.
