The fans in London got their money’s worth today, with the Texans and Jaguars battling back and forth until Houston kicked the game-winning field goal as time expired for a hard-fought 34-31 win.
Jaguars kicker Cam Little made a 60-yard field goal with 1:55 remaining to tie the score, but the Texans’ offense then marched down the field for Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn to make a 49-yarder with no time left.
The win is a huge one for the Texans, their second straight win after an 0-4 start, and it keeps them in contention to turn their season around and win the AFC South. The Jaguars fall to 4-2, and although they’re still the division favorites, the Texans can at least make things interesting over the final 11 games of the season.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a big day, completing 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence also had a big day in a losing effort. And Jacksonville’s Travis Hunter had a big day of his own, becoming just the fifth player in the Super Bowl era to have both an interception and a touchdown catch in the same game.
Now both teams head home, with the AFC South race looking different than it did when they made their trek to London.
