Denver Broncos beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 21-17 in this afternoon’s NFL game at Wembley Stadium in London.

Just when the Jaguars looked as though they were going to achieve only their third victory of the season, and their first since their week three win over the Chargers, Latavius Murray ran in for a touchdown from two yards to give the Denver outfit a win. A Brandon McManus kick added the extra point to the final scoreline as the game ended 21-17.

Jaguars take early lead

A 22-yard pass from quarter back Trevor Laurence to tight end Evan Engram was successfully completed for the opening TD of the game. The 28-year-old Engram, in his first season with the Jaguars, delighted the Wembley crowd with the early score. The extra point was added by kicker Riley Patterson, for whom it was only a fifth success from 37 attempts so far this season, for a 7-0 lead for the designated home side with 7:40 remaining in the opening quarter.
