Travis Hunter first player since 2002 to have receiving TD and INT in same game

Travis Hunter became the first player since 2002 to have a receiving touchdown and an interception in the same game in the Jaguars' loss to the Texans.

By Cole Hartwell

Travis Hunter made history in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. The second-year player caught a touchdown and recorded an interception, becoming the first NFL player since 2002 to have a receiving touchdown and an interception in the same game, according to Yahoo Sports.

What happened

Hunter caught a 7-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to make it 31-28 with 11:30 remaining. On the Texans’ ensuing possession, he intercepted C.J. Stroud in the end zone with less than four minutes left. Hunter also had a 29-yard catch earlier in the game where he broke a pair of tackles.

Context

Hunter primarily played defense and had minimal touches on offense through the team’s first four games. He entered Sunday’s game with only two catches for 17 yards. Against the Texans, he caught all four of his targets for 59 yards and his first touchdown of the season.

Timeline

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen played it cool earlier this month when asked about Hunter’s role in the offense. Hunter’s responsibilities have increased during the team’s two-week stay in London.

What’s next

The Jaguars have a Week 7 bye, according to SB Nation.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Hunter’s two-way usage is increasing, making him a fascinating fantasy asset. He caught all four targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Week 6, adding an interception on defense. If the Jaguars continue to expand his offensive role after the bye, Hunter could become a viable flex option in deeper leagues, especially in formats that reward defensive scoring. His 29-yard catch-and-run showcased his big-play ability. For now, he remains a speculative add given the Jaguars’ Week 7 bye, but his snap share and targets should be monitored.

Quick answers
