For context: 4 of those INTs came on tipped balls. Another vs Buffalo was due to an uncalled DPI that made the INT possible.
Regardless, his stats surprise me. I would've guessed he was a lot further off from last year's numbers.
Yes, and there's another 5+ non-INTs that hit a defender right in the hands and they dropped it. INTs are a weird stat because there's some amount of random fluctuation within bounds set by skill. Cian Fahey tried to quantify that with his interceptable throws metric, which is subject to the observer's biases (and Fahey is generally biased against Brady and for Rodgers) but it's overall better conceptually than raw interceptions.
