Travis Hunter makes the Jaguars pay for a lazy mistake

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way standout Travis Hunter didn’t have his best moment Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Hunter made his way down the field on a Texans punt in the third quarter of Sunday’s game at Wembley Stadium in London. Hunter’s poor effort meant the Jaguars were flagged for having 12 men on the field, which nullified the Houston punt and essentially worked as a Jacksonville turnover.

Hunter’s mistake proved costly for the Jaguars. The Texans used their new life to drive downfield for a touchdown, extending their lead to 24-14.

The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter remains a mixed bag in his second season. While the Jaguars continue to use him on both sides of the ball, he has never really been a bona-fide star at either position, and some think the Jaguars would be better off specializing him.

The entire Hunter was on display on Sunday. He struggled in coverage at times, but caught his second career touchdown pass.
