The Jacksonville Jaguars have used Colorado Buffaloes Heisman winner Travis Hunter mostly on defense this year. But in their London game against the Houston Texans, Hunter had his coming-out party on both sides of the ball.

On offense, Hunter caught four passes for 59 yards and his second career NFL touchdown in a crucial late-game moment. Defensively, Hunter recorded three tackles and a critical goal-line interception that kept the Jaguars in the game.

With his two-way performance Sunday, he became the third player since at least the 1970 merger to record an interception and a receiving touchdown in a regular-season game, joining Hall of Famer safety Brian Dawkins and Cardinals wide receiver Roy Green.
