The Houston Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 before an official attendance of 82,497 in the final London 2026 regular season game.
It was a second consecutive game for the Jaguars in the English capital, having defeated the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Sunday.
Moreau gives Texans the lead
The Houston Texans were first to get on the scoreboard through a 6-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau saw the tight end put his side into the lead.
Moments earlier, quarterback C.J. Stroud had passed deep right to wide receive Nico Collins who collected for a 42-yard catch, which put the Texans very much on the front foot.
Kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn added the extra point to give his side, the designated visitors for this fixture, a 7-0 advantage with 5:13 to play in in the opening quarter.
Foster Moreau is left wide open and the @HoustonTexans are on the board.

Tuten puts Jags on scoreboard
Running back Bhaysul Tuten got the Jaguars first score of the game, deep into the second quarter. At the end of 4 minute 26 seconds on the offensive, a pass to the right from Trevor Lawrence was successfully collected by Tuten. He raced through the Houston defence to reach the endzone for a touchdown. Last week’s last gasp kicking hero, Cam Little, added the extra point to bring the sides level with 6:47 remaining in the second quarter.

Second TD for Tuten
On the drive that followed, the Texans claimed a field goal through Ka’imi Fairbairn. His successful kick at the posts this afternoon – this time from 25 yards, put the Houston outfit back into a 10-7 lead with 4:16 to play in the second quarter.
Tuten claimed his second touchdown of the game in the final minute of the quarter. A 2-yard pass from quarterback Trevor Laurence gave Tuten another six-pointer. Little successfully added the extra score for a 14-10 lead to the Jaguars.
Just when it looked as though the Jacksonville franchise would head to the dressing rooms with a half-time lead, C.J. Stroud found Foster Moreau in the endzone for his second touchdown of the game. Fairbairn maintained his excellent record of kicking for the posts as he succeeded in his one-point attempt for a 17-14 half-time advantage to the Houston Texans.
An absolutely perfect throw from CJ Stroud for the touchdown

35-yard touchdown for Jordan
The score of the game came from a piece of individual brilliance from Jawhar Jordan. An offload from his quarterback C.J. Stroud gave Jordan the freedom to run. As he zig-zagged through the Jaguars’ defence, the Houston Texans’ running back rushed for a 25-yard touchdown. Fairbairn’s extra score pushed the Texans into a 31-21 lead by the end of the third quarter.

Game up for grabs until the end
Travis Hunter was next to claim a score in the game. The running back received a 7-yard pass from Trevor Lawrence at the end of a 4:24 drive for 61 yards. Little successfully kicked the point after, leaving the score: Texans 31 Jaguars 28, with 11:26 remaining in the game.
Cam Little stepped up to the plate for the second week in succession as he kicked a 60-yard field goal with 1:55 to play in the game. The successful kick brought the slides level at 31-31.
The action was not yet completed, however, as kicker Ka’imi Fairnbairn kicked a 49-yard field goal at the death to give the Texans a 34-31 win – their second consecutive victory, and end the Jaguars’ three-game winning streak.
