Texans Stun Jaguars 34-31 in London Thriller

The Texans Jaguars London showdown delivered the highest-scoring game of the NFL’s Sunday slate, with Houston stunning Jacksonville 34-31 at Wembley Stadium. C.J. Stroud threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns, and Ka’imi Fairbairn’s late field goal sealed a dramatic finish after the Jaguars refused to go quietly.

Stroud Outduels Lawrence in Shootout

Stroud was efficient and clutch, engineering late drives that kept Houston ahead as Jacksonville mounted a furious rally. On the other side, Trevor Lawrence produced one of the day’s biggest individual performances in a losing effort, completing 24 of 41 passes for 306 yards and four touchdowns against one interception — the highest touchdown total of any quarterback on Sunday.

The Texans also debuted their newest weapon: wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., acquired in a trade with the Cardinals last week, suited up after coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed midway that the former No. 4 overall pick would play.

Fairbairn’s Kick Wins It

With the game hanging in the balance, Fairbairn delivered the decisive kick to lift Houston to a three-point victory in the day’s highest-scoring contest. The win was one of eight Sunday games decided by seven points or fewer, capping a wild 12-game slate.

The loss stings for Jacksonville, which had been riding high and watched its quarterback’s four-touchdown masterpiece go to waste. For Houston, the victory provides a jolt of momentum behind Stroud’s finest outing of the young season.
