Hunter was an X-factor in the Jaguars' second U.K. game of the campaign. His afternoon didn't begin auspiciously. Hunter was beaten on a Nico Collins double-move and C.J. Stroud shoulder fake for a 42-yard catch, setting up Houston's opening score. His debatable defensive pass interference penalty at the end of the first half led to another Texans score. But Hunter was a force in the fourth quarter. The two-way star caught a TD from Trevor Lawrence on a Texas route out of the backfield, cutting Houston's lead to three points. Then, after giving up a Collins conversion on third down near midfield on the ensuing Texans drive, Hunter picked off Stroud in the end zone, the QB's first interception of the season in its sixth week.

Hunter rare two-way gem: receiving TD, INT in same game; third in 40 years

Hunter was an X-factor in Jacksonville's Week 6 loss to Houston in London, logging a career-high eight catches for 101 yards and the lone receiving TD of his rookie season in the Jaguars' Week 7 loss to the Rams in London last year. In this game, he caught a TD from Trevor Lawrence on a Texas route out of the backfield, cutting Houston's lead to three points, and then picked off Stroud in the end zone. In doing so, he became just the third player in the last 40 years to have a receiving TD and INT in the same game. Hunter started the season working almost exclusively on defense, but the former No. 2 pick has shown in recent weeks that he can play two ways -- and well.
