Overview
- The 34-31 victory at Wembley on Sunday was sealed by Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 49-yard field goal as time expired to complete Houston’s comeback over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- C.J. Stroud finished 24 of 34 for 312 yards and three touchdowns, and after throwing a late end-zone interception he engineered the drive that set up the winning kick.
- Marvin Harrison Jr. made his Texans debut with three catches, giving Stroud a new receiving option and contributing to a game in which ten Houston players caught passes.
- The win is Houston’s second straight after an 0-4 start and moves the Texans to 2-4 while Jacksonville falls to 4-2, narrowing the gap in the AFC South standings.
- Coaches and national analysts praised Stroud’s growth and poise, and his continued high-level play could affect contract leverage, but persistent defensive lapses mean Houston must improve on that side to sustain this momentum.
