On the 3rd-and-5 play, Hunter was in man, press coverage on Kam Brown at the line of scrimmage, but after jamming Brown, Hunter intuitively jumped off him and into space when he recognized Bruins slot receiver Logan Loya was running a short button-hook to the first-down line.Hunter dove and picked off Garbers’ pass, then popped up...
