The Houston Texans claimed a dramatic victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium, with Ka’imi Fairbairn kicking the winning field goal in the final moments. This marked the 28th NFL game at Wembley and the 45th overall in London, continuing the International Series which began nearly two decades ago.
Despite the spectacle, questions are being raised about the future of the Jaguars' regular presence in London. Jaguars president Mark Lamping indicated a preference for all 2028 home games to be played in their newly revamped Everbank Stadium in Florida. The Jaguars are committed to one more international game in 2027, which will coincide with a temporary move to Orlando while stadium renovations are completed.
The game itself saw a strong performance from Texans quarterback CJ Stroud, who led his team to a win despite a challenging start to their season. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence also delivered a competitive performance, with the team falling to a 4-2 record after the loss. Lawrence acknowledged the team's long-standing connection to London but noted uncertainty about future changes.
