LONDON – Broncos RB Latavius Murray rushed for a 2-yard touchdown with 1:43 remaining in the fourth quarter to lift Denver to a 21-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London.
Denver QB Russell Wilson returned from a nagging hamstring injury that kept him out of Denver’s 16-9 loss to the New York Jets on Oct. 23. He completed 18 of 30 passes for 252 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Murray’s score allowed the Broncos (3-5) to gain the lead and K’Waun Williams sealed the victory by jumping in front of Jaguars receiver Christian Kirk to pick off a pass from Jacksonville’s young QB Trevor Lawrence on the ensuing possession. Lawrence, who threw two costly interceptions, completed 18 of 31 passes for 133 yards and one touchdown.
The Jaguars (2-6) lost their fifth straight game overall and ninth in a row by one score. All six of their defeats this season have been by a one-score margin.
Jacksonville kept things close thanks to another productive rushing outing from Travis Etienne, who ran for 156 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.
