Travis Hunter scored his first NFL touchdown but it was merely a consolation as the Los Angeles Rams brushed off jet lag to claim a 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley.
The Rams did not arrive in the UK until Saturday morning – the day before the last of this season’s London series, which was the 43rd regular-season game to be played in the English capital.
That was the latest any team has arrived for an NFL game in London while the Jaguars, who also came into the game with a 4-2 record, had been here since Tuesday.
But the Rams charged into a 21-0 half-time lead before coasting through the second half, with veteran receiver Davante Adams scoring a hat-trick of touchdowns as the Rams finished with five overall.
Hunter ensured the Jaguars avoided a shutout with nine minutes remaining, helping to cut the score to 28-7, but it did not take the shine off an impressive win by the Rams, who have been tipped to be in Super Bowl contention again this season having last won the NFL’s championship game in 2022.
