Texans Stun Jaguars 26-3 at Wembley as Marvin Harrison Jr. Makes London Debut

The Houston Texans dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars 26-3 at Wembley Stadium in the NFL's final London game of 2026, boosted by the debut of newly acquired wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., while Jacksonville imploded with three consecutive turnovers in the fourth quarter.

The Houston Texans marked their first-ever appearance at Wembley Stadium in London with a commanding 26-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season, completing the league's three-game London International Series for the year. The game's biggest pre-match story was the debut of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., traded from the Arizona Cardinals just days earlier in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a seventh-rounder. Despite only arriving in London with minimal preparation time, Harrison played alongside his former Ohio State teammate, quarterback C.J. Stroud. The opening half was competitive, with Jacksonville trailing only 9-3 at the break. However, the second half became a rout: on Jacksonville's first third-quarter possession, a botched field goal attempt yielded zero points. Then three consecutive Jaguars turnovers in the fourth quarter allowed the Texans to extend their lead decisively. Houston's 216 rushing yards on the ground underscored their physical dominance. The Texans improved to 2-4 on the season while the Jaguars, who entered as 4-1 favourites, fell to 4-2 in the AFC South standings.
