The record for most interceptions by a player in an NFL game is 4 and is held by about 20 different players. The last player to do it was DeAngelo Hall of the Redskins in a game against the Bears in 2010. The first player to do it was Sammy Baugh of the Redskins against the Lions in 1943. One player has done it twice ... Jerry Norton of the Cardinals intercepted 4 passes against the Redskins in 1960 and the Steelers in 1961.
