Three seasons and four-plus games. That’s how long it took for Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson to get his hands on an honest-to-goodness interception. Not an almost-got-one. Not one wiped away by a penalty. They can’t take this one away from him.
Nelson had played 1,869 defensive snaps going into Sunday’s game, and it still took a Blake Bortles pass that ricocheted off of the helmet of one of his Jacksonville Jaguars offensive linemen and Nelson diving to the ground in the end zone for him to finally break through with his first regular-season interception with 12 seconds left in the first half.
