Bobby Wagner secured his second interception of the season during Sunday Night Football in a key matchup against the Denver Broncos. The interception came when Broncos quarterback Bo Nix threw a pass toward Pat Bryant about 15 yards downfield, unaware of Wagner’s presence at the sticks.
Wagner’s deflection led to a turnover, and the Commanders capitalized with three points, trimming the score to 20-17 in the fourth quarter. Besides the interception, Wagner recorded six tackles, including two solo stops, showcasing his consistent defensive impact.
This interception marks a notable achievement for Wagner, a 14-year NFL veteran, who has only recorded multiple interceptions in four previous seasons. Primarily recognized for his tackling ability and football IQ, the former Utah State standout has rarely been seen as an elite coverage linebacker.
With five games remaining in the season, Wagner has the opportunity to match or exceed his rookie season career-high of three interceptions. His continued defensive contributions highlight his enduring value on the field despite the rarity of interceptions in his career.
Bobby Wagner’s NFL journey began when he was drafted in the second round by the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 after a successful collegiate career at Utah State. He played a pivotal role in Seattle’s Super Bowl XLVIII victory.
After ten seasons with the Seahawks, Wagner moved to an NFC West rival in March, following his release earlier that same month. In his first season with the Rams, Wagner amassed 140 tackles, six sacks, two interceptions, and five pass breakups, though the team finished third in the division and missed the playoffs.
Wagner earned his ninth career AP All-Pro recognition this season, including six first-team and three second-team honors, cementing his legacy as one of the game’s premier linebackers. His consistent high level of performance makes him a vital asset for his current team’s defensive unit.
