Really!?! Two out of every 9 passes thrown are intercepted? That seems ridiculously large....and dangerous.
No, a "pass defended" (also sometimes "pass defensed" which I hate) is when a defender breaks up the pass. It's a subset of incompletions.

Thank you. I never understood why defense was made into a verb, when the word defend already exists. I put that one up there with "verticality" in my list of sports words that I can't stand.
