The Jacksonville Jaguars edged the Houston Texans in a dramatic NFL Week 6 International Series game at Wembley Stadium, London, according to The Guardian’s live coverage.

What happened

Jacksonville opened the first quarter with quarterback Trevor Lawrence dropping back and delivering a 24‑yard strike to tight end Brenton Strange, moving the Jags past midfield. The teams exchanged punts before the Jaguars built a lead that swung back and forth. Late in the fourth quarter the Eagles (likely a mis‑reference to the Texans) held a 17‑16 advantage with eight seconds remaining. A seven‑second kick return set up Cam Little, who converted a 57‑yard field goal to give Jacksonville the win.

What the reports add

The Guardian noted that Lawrence’s performance through five games placed him fourth in passer rating (106.3), eighth in completion percentage (67.1%), and fifth in yards per attempt (8.2). He has accumulated 1,174 passing yards and 10 touchdowns, tying for fifth in the league. The live blog also mentioned injury updates: the Chicago Bears expect quarterback Caleb Williams to return, while Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve.

What was said

The outlet quoted its own commentator saying, “Lawrence appears to be making the leap finally from good to great,” and added, “Why not the Jacksonville Jaguars” as a potential Super Bowl contender.

How it came about

The International Series match followed a week of speculation about the Jaguars’ defense, which has allowed no running back more than 40 yards this season, and about Lawrence’s rising profile after a strong start to the 2026 campaign.
