LONDON – Ka\u2019imi Fairbairn kicked a 49-yard field goal as time expired, C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes and the Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 on the slick grass of Wembley Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Texans take over Jaguars game in London <\/p>\n
Big picture view:<\/p>\n
Cam Little\u2019s 60-yard field goal had tied the game at 31-31 with just under two minutes left after Travis Hunter intercepted Stroud\u2019s pass in the end zone.<\/p>\n
Hunter also hauled in a 7-yard touchdown pass at the other end \u2014 becoming just the fifth player in the Super Bowl era, including the playoffs, to both score a touchdown and intercept a pass in the same game.<\/p>\n
Marvin Harrison Jr. made his debut for the Texans (2-4), making three catches as Houston earned back-to-back wins to gain ground on the AFC South-leading Jaguars (4-2).<\/p>\n
Tight end Foster Moreau caught two touchdown passes from Stroud, who also connected with Jaylin Noel for a 13-yard score in the third quarter for a 24-14 lead.<\/p>\n
Moreau scored on a 6-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and a 1-yarder just before the end of the half.<\/p>\n
Penalties dogged the Jaguars for a third straight week. They were flagged for too many men on the field on a Houston punt \u2014 extending a Texans drive that ended with Noel\u2019s touchdown.<\/p>\n
Trevor Lawrence threw four touchdown passes, including a pair to Bhayshul Tuten. His 1-yard pass to rookie tight end Nate Boerkircher cut Houston\u2019s lead to 24-21.<\/p>\n
Houston responded with Jawhar Jordan\u2019s 25-yard touchdown to restore a 10-point lead, 31-21, late in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
Two-way star Hunter, who scored his first NFL touchdown at Wembley a year ago, snagged his second when he hauled in a pass over the middle to reduce Houston\u2019s lead to 31-28 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Hunter\u2019s interception led to Jacksonville\u2019s drive and Little\u2019s game-tying field goal.<\/p>\n
Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The interception was his first of the season.<\/p>\n
Harrison, who joined the Texans this week in a trade with Arizona, made three catches for 34 yards. Woody Marks had 15 carries for 56 yards, the first running back to break 40 yards in a game this season against Jacksonville.<\/p>\n
Lawrence finished 24 of 41 for 306 yards, four TDs and an interception.<\/p>\n

Slippery surface <\/p>\n
Local perspective:<\/p>\n
Early rain made the Wembley grass slippery \u2014 and not just for players. Umpire Larry Smith slipped and hurt his knee in the first quarter. He left on a cart.<\/p>\n
Injuries Texans <\/p>\n
Dig deeper:<\/p>\n
LB Azeez Al-Shaair was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter, headed to the locker room afterward, and returned in the third quarter … S Reed Blankenship also left in the first half.<\/p>\n
Jaguars <\/p>\n
The other side:<\/p>\n
RB Ameer Abdullah was helped off after a kickoff return. He later came back into the game….
