The Jacksonville Jaguars put together a special 2025 regular season.
They won the AFC South Division, and with that, they're hosting a Wild Card Round playoff game on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Maybe the only real bummer for the Jags is that Travis Hunter won't be a part of it.
The Jaguars traded up to No. 2 in the 2025 NFL Draft to pick the Heisman Trophy-winning, two-way superstar out of Colorado.
But Hunter's season has been over for a while.

Why isn't Travis Hunter playing?
Travis Hunter isn't playing because he's injured and out for the season.
Hunter sustained a season-ending right knee injury during practice on Oct. 30.
It ended his rookie campaign after just seven games.
Hunter had made 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown as a wide receiver. As a cornerback, he had 15 tackles and three passes defensed.
The expectation is that Hunter will be ready for a full return to football activities by the spring, which will set him up to ramp up for a big second NFL season.
First, he'll root on the Jags in the postseason even though he can't be out there on the field with them.
