The Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, Oct. 18, on a 49-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn as time expired.

C.J. Stroud led the winning drive in the final two minutes and finished 24 of 34 for 312 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception, his first of the season. Houston (2-4) has now won back-to-back games; Jacksonville fell to 4-2.

Hunter's big day

Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter intercepted Stroud in the end zone, setting up Cam Little's 60-yard field goal that tied the game at 31, and caught two touchdown passes. He became just the fifth player in the Super Bowl era, including the playoffs, to score a touchdown and intercept a pass in the same game.

Foster Moreau caught two Stroud touchdowns and Jaylin Noel added a 13-yard score in the third quarter that made it 24-14. Jawhar Jordan's 25-yard touchdown run pushed Houston's lead to 31-21 before Jacksonville rallied behind Trevor Lawrence, who threw for 306 yards and four touchdowns. Marvin Harrison Jr. made his Texans debut after a trade from Arizona, catching three passes for 34 yards.

Early rain left the Wembley grass slick. The Texans host the New York Giants next before a Week 8 bye.
