Lawrence’s Game-Winner, Hunter’s Two‑Way Usage

The Jacksonville Jaguars improved to 4-1 after a 31-28 Monday Night Football win over the Kansas City Chiefs, capped by Trevor Lawrence’s go-ahead rushing touchdown with 23 seconds remaining on his 26th birthday. Lawrence finished with 221 passing yards and one passing touchdown, and added 54 rushing yards and two rushing scores. Rookie two-way player Travis Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick, made a key third-quarter 44-yard sideline catch and contributed on defense with tackles and a pass breakup. Reports indicate Hunter logged roughly 60 snaps in the game (about 35 on offense and 25 on defense), and season snap tallies show substantially more offensive than defensive work; PFF noted he became the first player in roughly 20 years to start on both sides. Social media and many analysts praised his athleticism and urged the Jaguars to get him more targets, while critics flagged his touchdown-less start and limited defensive impact at times. Jacksonville will look to further integrate and balance Hunter’s two-way role beginning with a home game against the Seattle Seahawks.
