Yes. It has happened many times across all divisions.
Some teams, even today, rarely throw the football (Navy, Army), and some quarterbacks play only as back-ups or reserves (as opposed to starting quarterbacks or those with 400+ pass attempts).
Technically speaking, a back-up quarterback with just one pass attempts on the season that was not intercepted would be included on any list of quarterbacks without an interception unless that list specifies a minimum number of pass attempts.
No NFL starting QB has played the entire season without throwing an interception. The closest was Damon Huard of the 2006 Kansas City Chiefs who played in 10 games, starting 8 and threw 1 interception in 244 pass attempts. The most passes attempted by a QB in an NFL season without an interception is 127 by Paul Justin of the 1996 Indianapolis Colts. He played in 8 games, starting 2. Bernie Kosar of the 1990 and 1991 Cleveland Browns holds the NFL record with 308 consecutive passes without an interception. The streak started in Game 14 of the 1990 season and ended in Game 10 of the 1991 season.

Bernie Kosar 308 (this is not the answer. Kosar had the most ATTEMPTS without an interception, not the most completions. And Tom Brady broke this record on 12/26/2010) His bio on steelers.com claims that Charlie Batch had 145 consecutive completions without an interception when he was with the Detroit Lions. Given that Tom Brady's current record for pass ATTEMPTS without an interception is in the 300's (as of 12/27/10), 145 completions sounds as if it would be close to the record. I don't know if it is the actual record, though. Can anyone find a QB with more?
A couple have started all 16 games in the regular season and done it ... 1) Steve DeBerg of the 1990 Kansas City Chiefs threw 4 INTs. He averaged an interception every 111 pass attempts and his 0.9 interception percentage is the lowest of any NFL QB that has started every game in a 16 game schedule. 2) Jason Campbell of the 2008 Washington Redskins threw 6 INTs. He averaged an interception every 84.3 pass attempts and had an interception percentage of 1.2.

Tom Brady's pass attempts without an interception streak does not continue into the next season as the interception in the game versus the New York Jets ended the streak officially.
