A couple have started all 16 games in the regular season and done it ... 1) Steve DeBerg of the 1990 Kansas City Chiefs threw 4 INTs. He averaged an interception every 111 pass attempts and his 0.9 interception percentage is the lowest of any NFL QB that has started every game in a 16 game schedule. 2) Jason Campbell of the 2008 Washington Redskins threw 6 INTs. He averaged an interception every 84.3 pass attempts and had an interception percentage of 1.2.
Dick "Night Train" Lane holds the NFL single season interception record with 14 in 1952, a record made even more impressive by the fact that they only played 12-game seasons back then. Also, Lane was a rookie that year.
The NFL doesn't keep that statistic because some QBs throw the ball many more times than others. The NFL keeps a statistic called 'Lowest Percentage Intercepted for a Season'. The all time leader in that statistic is Kansas City Chiefs QB Damon Huard who, in 2006, had an interception percentage of 0.41. He threw 1 interception in 244 pass attempts. Second all time is Joe Ferguson of the 1976 Buffalo Bills who threw 1 interception in 151 pass attempts for an interception percentage of 0.66. Third all time is Steve DeBerg of the 1990 Kansas City Chiefs who threw 4 interceptions in 444 pass attempts for an interception percentage of 0.90.
