Jacksonville Jaguars' cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter delivered a historic performance in the team's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans at London's Wembley Stadium on October 18, 2026. Hunter became the first NFL player since 2002 to record both a receiving touchdown and an interception in the same game.
In the fourth quarter, with the Jaguars trailing 31-21, Hunter caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, narrowing the deficit to three points. On the Texans' ensuing drive, Hunter intercepted a pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud in the end zone, preventing a potential touchdown and keeping the Jaguars' hopes alive. Despite these pivotal plays, the Texans secured the victory with a last-second 49-yard field goal by kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn.
Hunter's dual contributions underscore his versatility and the Jaguars' strategic use of his talents on both offense and defense. This performance marks a significant milestone in Hunter's NFL career, highlighting his potential as a two-way player.
