Interception rates since week 13 last season

1

There is an interesting article on ESPN about Alex Smith not having an interception since game 12 of last season. That's all fine and dandy, but the reason I am posting this is for the chart they provide with interception/dropped interception rates of quarterbacks in that time period (with over 100 drop backs). Cam Newton has a 2.7% rate (5 INT, 0 dropped INT), which puts him at 13th in the league. For comparison sake, Matt Ryan has 0.9% (2, 0), Drew Brees 2.3% (5, 1) and Josh Freeman 3.2% (6, 0) over the same period.
