The Houston Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, with Ka’imi Fairbairn kicking a 49-yard field goal at the end of a back-and-forth Week 6 game.

Houston moved into range on its final possession before a direct snap to tight end Cade Stover failed to gain the first down. Fairbairn then converted the decisive kick to give the Texans their second consecutive victory.

Quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards, throwing three touchdowns and one interception. Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished 24 of 41 for 206 yards, with four touchdown passes and one interception.

The result was Houston’s second win of the season after each of its four defeats had come by five points or fewer. Jacksonville remained atop the AFC South despite the loss.

Elsewhere in Sunday’s early games, Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams opened strongly against Atlanta, completing his first eight passes for 120 yards and a touchdown. The wider Week 6 schedule also included Baltimore against Cleveland, Tennessee at Indianapolis, the New York Jets against New England, New Orleans against the New York Giants, Carolina at Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh against Tampa Bay.
