LONDON — Latavius Murray scored a two-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to lead the Denver Broncos to a 21-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London.
In doing so, the Broncos ended a four-game losing streak.
Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, returning from a hamstring injury, orchestrated two offensive drives that put the Broncos ahead each time in the second half.
Wilson finished his day with 18 completions on 30 attempts for 252 yards. He threw a touchdown pass and was the victim of an interception.
Wilson looked rusty early in the game, but completed a 47-yard pass to KJ Hamler after the Broncos gave the Jaguars a 17-14 lead on a Travis Etienne touchdown with 3: 54 to play.
Wilson added 10 yards on third down and five yards to go to get the ball to the Jaguars 28 line.
By crossing the goal line late in the fourth quarter, Murray thus scored a touchdown with two different teams in games played in London in October. He had achieved the feat with the New Orleans Saints at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
The Broncos (3-5) erased a 10-point deficit with a touchdown from Jerry Jeudy, on a six-yard pass in the first half, and following a one-yard run from Melvin Gordon, who capped off a 98-yard drive early in the second half.
The Jaguars (2-6) suffered a fifth consecutive loss despite a sparkling performance from Etienne. In addition to his touchdown, Etienne completed 24 carries for 156 yards.
After Murray’s major, scored with 1:43 left in regulation, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the victim of an interception at the Jaguars 35-yard line.
Lawrence finished the game with 18 completions on 31 attempts for 133 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.
The announced crowd of 86,215 is the largest in NFL international game history.
