Travis Hunter records first career NFL interception

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Travis Hunter recorded his first career NFL interception during a 35-6 victory over the New England Patriots. The play occurred in the second quarter when Hunter intercepted a pass from Patriots quarterback Drake Maye in the end zone, helping to maintain a 14-3 lead heading into halftime.

Following the game, Hunter stated that while the milestone felt good, his primary focus remained on the team's victory and the next play. The interception served as a momentum shifter, contributing to a dominant performance by the Jaguars.

There has been ongoing discussion regarding Hunter's usage in the Jaguars' lineup. While he was a prominent two-way star in college, the Jaguars have primarily utilized him on defense this season. Colorado coach Deion Sanders commented on the situation, noting he was unsure why the team has limited Hunter's offensive role. Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Usinski indicated that expanding Hunter's offensive involvement would depend on balancing his defensive workload.
