Foye Oluokun adds to Jaguars’ NFL-best red-zone takeaway total
Foye Oluokun recorded his 10th career interception Sunday as Jacksonville increased its NFL-leading total to three red-zone takeaways.
The Jacksonville Jaguars secured a 22-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4, showcasing their continued defensive prowess in the red zone. Linebacker Foye Oluokun played a pivotal role in that win by intercepting Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter, marking the team's third red-zone takeaway of the season and the most in the NFL so far this year, according to Jaguars Public Relations.
This interception not only added to Oluokun's impressive career statistics but also came at a critical juncture when Cincinnati was threatening Jacksonville territory with a narrow lead. Oluokun's 10th career interception and second of the 2026 season make him one of just seven linebackers since 2018 to record at least 10 career interceptions.
Head coach Liam Coen emphasized that ball disruption has become a key aspect of the Jaguars' defensive identity, a strategy that has evidently proven successful in high-leverage situations.
