Travis Hunter first player since 2002 to pull off this two-way NFL feat
Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter became the first player since 2002 with a receiving touchdown and an interception in the same game.
In a recent NFL game, Jacksonville Jaguars player Travis Hunter made history by becoming the first player since 2002 to achieve both a receiving touchdown and an interception in the same game. Prior to this season, Hunter primarily played defense and had minimal offensive touches during the team's first four games. However, after the team's annual two-week stayover in London, England, Hunter's responsibilities expanded on both sides of the ball.
Hunter's performance was highlighted in the Jaguars' 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. In a pivotal moment during the fourth quarter, he intercepted a pass thrown by Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, preventing any additional points for the Texans. This interception came just moments after Hunter scored a touchdown with a 29-yard catch, breaking through two tackles with agility and speed. This remarkable feat made Hunter the NFL's first player since 2002 to accomplish this two-way feat.
