Ka’imi Fairbairn converted a 49-yard field goal on the final play to give Houston a 34-31 victory over Jacksonville in London. His winning kick followed a Texans drive after the Jaguars had drawn level late in the game.

Cam Little had tied the score for Jacksonville with a field goal from 60 yards with 1:55 remaining. Houston’s offense then moved into position for Fairbairn’s attempt, leaving the Jaguars no time to respond.

C.J. Stroud finished with 312 passing yards for the Texans, completing 24 of 34 attempts. He threw one touchdown without an interception as Houston recorded its second consecutive victory following an 0-4 opening to the season.

Jacksonville fell to 4-2 despite a milestone performance from Travis Hunter. He became only the fifth player during the Super Bowl era to record an interception and catch a touchdown pass in one game. Both AFC South teams now return home from London.
