"Here is a hot tip if you're starting a gambling pool and predicting which 49ers defender will snap their interception drought, now spanning an NFL-record 12 consecutive games. It's going to be me, cornerback Deommodore Lenoir said, when they throw a catchable ball. Opponents, dating to last season, have gone 381 consecutive passes without one sticking in the 49ers' slick gloves. Sunday's sharpshooter will be Baker Mayfield, who's had only one pass intercepted out of 172 thrown this season"
"Lenoir combined with rookie safety Marques Sigle on the game-ending fourth-down tackle of Kyren Williams to secure Thursday night's 26-23 overtime win against the Los Angeles Rams. Still, Lenoir has no interceptions since signing a lucrative contract extension (five years, $89 million) last Nov. 13. He has allowed 36 catches on 55 targets since then for 294 yards and just one touchdown, which came Thursday night, according to SportRadar.com."
Opponents have thrown 381 consecutive passes without an interception against the 49ers, extending an NFL-record drought to 12 games. Deommodore Lenoir remains confident and notes he will take an interception when a catchable ball is thrown. Baker Mayfield has one interception on 172 throws this season, showing high confidence and accuracy. Lenoir had three holding penalties, six tackles and a pass breakup while helping secure a 26-23 overtime win with a fourth-down tackle alongside Marques Sigle. Since signing a five-year, $89 million extension, Lenoir has allowed 36 catches on 55 targets for 294 yards and one touchdown. Penalties have affected top corners—Renardo Green and nickel Upton Stout have multiple holding or pass-interference penalties, and Stout had a pass-interference call nullify what would have been his first interception in the team's lone loss.
