The Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off this year's NFL international series with a comfortable win over the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley.
The Jaguars looked set to run away with the game as they charged into a 17-0 lead after two first-half touchdowns.
The Falcons replied with a touchdown of their own at the start of the third quarter, before the Jags stretched their lead with a field goal.
Atlanta quarterback Desmond Ridder recovered from a woeful first half to keep the game alive, steering the Falcons to Jacksonville's six-yard line with six minutes left.
And although Drake London caught a Ridder pass high at the back of the end zone, he was denied a touchdown as he did not manage to put both feet inbounds as he landed.
The Jaguars, who have played in every London series since 2013, then added another field goal to ensure they had the final say in the 10th game they have played in the English capital.
Although the Jags earned a dramatic win over the Miami Dolphins at Tottenham in 2021, this was their first win at Wembley since battering the Baltimore Ravens 44-7 in 2017.
Owner Shahid Khan, who also owns Fulham FC, even attempted to buy England's national stadium in 2018, but the Florida franchise remains committed to playing in London as they have already agreed to return next year.
