Sunday marked the first time in Travis Hunter's career where he did not log a single offensive snap.
He surely has had a small role at cornerback all season long, playing 15 offensive snaps and catching one pass for eight yards in the first three weeks of the season, but playing zero offensive snaps at all was a first. With that said, there is a very easy explanation for why the Jaguars did not let their unicorn take any snaps on offense.... Hunter having a bigger role on defense than offense is not new at all, but it is not as if the Jaguars have pulled the plug on him getting offensive snaps. It simply did not make sense to line him up at wide receiver in a week where so many defensive backs were injured.

What to make of the QB performance: Trevor Lawrence got battered by the Broncos' pass rush, but unlike last season's matchup, the Jaguars weren't able to overcome it. Lawrence did make a few throws downfield -- the longest being a 32-yarder to Parker Washington to the 1-yard line -- when he did get good protection, but he had to rush a lot of throws. After his lone interception late in the third quarter, the Jaguars managed just 34 yards on three possessions.
