The Bengals had more interceptions than any team in the league in '05 by a very wide margin (7 more than the #2 team). That was part of a 4 year stretch ('04-'07) where they had more interceptions than any team in the league (8 more than the Bears). But all those picks were "lucky".
Meanwhile a team that finished 15th in the league in interceptions in '21 gets 8 in a four game stretch and those are all due to "tight coverage". Because we all know BJ Hill is famous for his tight pass coverage skills.
