In football, a pick 6 is a type of turnover that occurs when a defensive player intercepts the ball thrown by the opposing teams quarterback and runs it into the end zone for a touchdown. The term "pick" is slang for interception, and "six" refers to the six points awarded for a touchdown. This play is considered a great play in football, as it not only results in a touchdown for the defense but can also be a game-changer that can swing the games momentum in favor of the defensive team. A pick 6 is always made by a defensive player, usually a member of the secondary or a linebacker since they are more likely to be in coverage. However, if a lineman does happen to intercept a pass, it may be more likely for them to return it for a touchdown because there are fewer opposing players in their way.
