Jaguars got football from Travis Hunter's first interception after sideline squabble

Jacksonville secured a victory against New England on Sunday thanks in part to cornerback Travis Hunter securing his initial interception at the professional level. Following the takeaway, an odd sideline incident erupted when teammate Josh Hines-Allen attempted to reclaim the football from a Patriots ballboy who aggressively guarded the item and warned the defender against physical contact.

Head coach Liam Coen mentioned during a Monday videoconference that the organization attempted to acquire the souvenir for the rookie, noting communications with the opposing staff to resolve the matter. Jourdan Lewis remarked that the defensive back could have prevented the chaos by keeping hold of the football instead of tossing it to the turf during his celebration, though the organization ultimately managed to obtain the item.
