11/30/1922: Carl Thomas of the All-Americans intercepted Chet Wynne of Rochester
11/1/1925: Tex Hamer of Frankford intercepted Jim Kendrick of the Bisons
Missing:
10/2/1921: Johnny Scott, All-Americans intercepted someone from Hammond
11/6/1921: Joe Guyon, Cleve. Tigers intercepted someone from the All-Americans
12/4/1921: Guy Chamberlin, Bears intercepted someone from the All-Americans
9/26/1925: Tex Hamer, Frankford intercepted someone from the Bisons
The only one I could solve was the Guyon pick-six of 11/06/21 … Guyon intercepted Anderson and ran 75 yards for the score. Source: Buffalo Evening News.

As for Pastorini and Riley, none. Pastorini was picked by Andy Russell, Bill Thompson, Glen Edwards, Jimmy Warren, Barney and Ronnie Lott. Riley picked Brian Sipe, Jack Thompson, Jim Plunkett, Lynn Dickey and Pat Sullivan.

Couple more tidbits. Tom Landry pick sixed Otto Graham twice. The Woodson's, Rod and Charles, stole from the most QBs (11), but no one beats Willie Brown for quality. All five came against HOF QBs (Tarkenton, Dawson, Bradshaw and Griese (twice), and three were in the playoffs.
I think Chris was asking about all interceptions but you're just talking INTs run back for a touchdown, right?

I compiled a list for those returned for TDs. So far I have 2,803 in the regular season. With the Dorow answer, I'm down to 49 missing passers, all before 1937.
Just curious... What is the most occurring QB to interceptor combo in NFL history?

I would think Dan Pastorini to Ken Riley has to be pretty high on the list.
I remember hearing some time ago that Dan Fouts to Steve Foley topped the list.

But note that Anderson was the right halfback, not the QB.

Thanks! I should clarify that I'm looking for the passer, regardless of position.
