When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, the NFL accepted records set in the AFL as theirs. Since the merger, Testaverde's 35 interceptions in 1988 is the most for a season. But the NFL considers the record to be 42 by George Blanda of the Houston Oilers (old AFL) in 1962. Testeverde's 35 is the second most and the third most is 34 by Frank Tripucka of the 1960 Denver Broncos, also from the old AFL.
