Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter recorded his first career NFL interception in Sunday's 35-6 victory over the New England Patriots at Ever Bank Stadium, calling it a relieving turning point after 385 winless days. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye targeted receiver Efton Chism III on third-and-goal from the 2 with 1:02 left in the first half, but Hunter outjumped Chism to preserve a 14-3 lead, claiming his first career turnover. Jaguars coach Liam Coen praised the play as crucial for Hunter's confidence.

Hunter had three pass breakups and 15 tackles before a knee injury ended his 2025 season, and recorded one breakup and five tackles before Sunday. He finished with four tackles and played five offensive snaps without touching the ball.
