The Houston Texans captured the Belt Holders championship with a dramatic 34-31 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Ka'imi Fairbairn's 49-yard field goal as time expired sealed the win after Jacksonville had closed within three points on Cam Little's 60-yard field goal with under two minutes remaining.
C.J. Stroud threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns, including two scores to Foster Moreau, while Jaylin Noel led all receivers with 107 yards on four catches. Trevor Lawrence matched Stroud's aerial output with 306 yards and four touchdown passes, connecting twice with Bhayshul Tuten in the second quarter. The Texans built a 24-14 halftime lead and extended it to 31-21 after three quarters before Jacksonville mounted a fourth-quarter rally.
Houston now holds the belt after taking it from Jacksonville in the international showcase. The Texans jumped ahead early with a first-quarter touchdown and never trailed, though the Jaguars kept it close throughout. Jawhar Jordan's 25-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter proved crucial in maintaining Houston's cushion before Fairbairn's clutch kick.
