Travis Hunter intercepts Drake Maye in end zone for first career pick

Travis Hunter achieved his first NFL interception during a game on September 27, 2026, between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots. With the Jaguars leading 14-3 late in the first half, Hunter picked off a pass intended for tight end Efton Chism in the end zone, catching the ball while getting both feet down in bounds. This interception occurred on a third-and-goal situation from the 2-yard line, marking Hunter’s first major defensive highlight after a rookie season where he struggled to make an impact on either side of the ball. Now primarily focused on defense, Hunter's performance may signal an upward trend for his career.
