Hunter now has a touchdown and an interception in the same game for the first time in his NFL career. This is precisely the kind of production Jacksonville was hoping for out of Hunter when they traded up to draft him No. 2 overall.
He is also just the third player since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 to have a touchdown and an interception
in the same game.
