Travis Hunter’s two-way heroics were not enough to lift the Jaguars to their second straight win in London.
Hunter became the first NFL player in 24 years to catch a touchdown pass and record an interception in the same game, but the Jags fell to the Texans, 34-31, at Wembley Stadium on Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 49-yard field goal as time expired.
Jacksonville had secured a 19-17 win over the Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last week on Cam Little’s last-second field goal.
Hunter, the former two-way star and Heisman Trophy winner out of Colorado, gave the Jags a chance to win again with a 7-yard touchdown reception from Trevor Lawrence as a wide receiver early in the fourth quarter and an interception in the end zone of C.J. Stroud as a cornerback on the ensuing drive with 3:53 to play.
It marked Hunter’s second INT of the season.
Earlier in the game, Hunter was flagged for pass interference on Nico Collins in the end zone, setting up a Houston touchdown.
Hunter, the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, also had four receptions for 59 yards after making only two catches for 17 yards over his first five appearances this season.
Brian Dawkins of the Eagles was the last player to record a touchdown reception and an interception in the same game, but his TD catch came on a fake punt play. The only other player in the Super Bowl era with a TD catch and a pick in the same game was Roy Green for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1981.
