  1. That's all from Wembley

    Denver Broncos 21-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    The Denver Broncos improve to 3-5 after their late comeback victory at Wembley, with the Jacksonville Jaguars slipping to 3-6 and in all sorts of problems.

    Defence is not much of an issue for either team, both are solid and play hard, but putting up points in the problem.

    There was not too much from either side, but Russell Wilson and the Broncos just got the big plays at the right times towards the end to pinch it.

    Read the full report here.

    And remember there's live radio commentary of the New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks from 20:25 GMT.

  2. Shout out to Liverpool

    Russell Wilson is now a confirmed Liverpool fan, as he proved in his post-match press conference...

  3. 'I wouldn't be here if I couldn't handle the pressure'

    Russell Wilson has his critics, and he's not everyone's cup of tea, but you can't fault his believe in his own ability, which showed in that late game-winning drive after such a poor season so far.

    Wilson thinks this win could turn their season around, telling ESPN:

    "We just needed a little momentum and there’s a long season left – I’ve played a lot of ball, played a lot of games,been through some amazing things and some tough things along the way, this isjust part of the journey."

    "Just because you want to climb the mountain doesn’t mean you won’t fall a little bit – you just got to keep climbing.

    "I wouldn't be here if I couldn't handle the pressure. I kind of enjoy it.

    "These guys have been awesome too lifting me up – their work ethic coming in every day no matter what’s going on or what’s been said.

    "At the end of the day I also knowwho I am. God’s given me an amazing ability to keep going, keep playing and keepleading, so at the end of the day I ain’t going to blink.”

    Travis Etienne was the standout performer of the game with 156 rushing yards and a touchdown - all in a losing effort. That fantasy football trade might cost me a bit more now...

    Nothing too much to shout about - Russell Wilson was decent in the end with 252 passing yards and a touchdown, with Trevor Lawrence struggling to just 133 yards and a score with two interceptions.

    As we said at the start, defence would be on top, and it was, just a case of making the big plays at the crucial times that settled yet another close game in the NFL.

  5. Roars for Russell

    Denver Broncos 21-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Russell Wilson is one of the last players off the field and he's given a huge ovation from a big gang of Broncos fans in the corner of Wembley.

    Wilson really needed that one..

  6. Welcome win for Wilson's Broncos

    Well, a surprisingly good game in the end - plenty of hard-hitting defence as we expected, but also a flurry of big plays and just enough offence to keep us interested.

    As we're now fully used to in the NFL this season, there's a late comeback to marvel at as well - so many games have come down to the final minute or so and that was the case again.

    Fair play to Russell Wilson, who has been under all sorts of pressure but engineered a game-winning drive like the Wilson of old, could this spark his season into life?

  7. They think it's all over...

    Denver Broncos 21-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Hang on! The officials are reviewing the previously play to see if Wilson really did get over the line, so the teams are ushered back off the field.

    Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over....it is now! Not quite the 1966 World Cup final as this time it's the referees who officially end the game, but there it is - Denver win!

  8. Game over!

    Denver Broncos 21-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Russell Wilson keeps it on fourth down and with a little help from his friends he's shoved over the line to gain and that's a first down that will seal the game!

  9. Intercepted!

    Denver Broncos 21-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Wow! Trevor Lawrence gets picked off on his very first throw of the drive as K'Wuan Williams dives in front of Cristian Kirk and manages to snare the ball for the Broncos!

  10. Touchdown - Broncos

    Denver Broncos 21-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Latavius Murray punches it in! He's a fine short yardage back so Murray doesn't have any real problems barging, twisting and turning for the score.

    But have they scored too soon?

    Trevor Lawrence has a minute and 43 seconds left and two time outs remaining...

  11. Denver on the doorstep

    Denver Broncos 14-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    A speedy KJ Hamler run to the outside followed by Latavius Murray hurdling defenders gets a first down for the Broncos on the two yard line.

    With just a minute and 47 seconds left, Denver are sniffing victory here now.

  12. Run Russ run!

    Denver Broncos 14-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    As so often happens in the NFL - the shackles come off late in the fourth quarter when the game is on the line.

    Wilson isn't playing it safe anymore and on a crucial third down he takes off and runs the hard yards to convert for the first down on the 18.

    Denver should at least be guaranteed a field goal now, let's see how adventurous the play calling is...

  13. Post update

    At half-time I asked if there could be a repeat of last year's drama at Tottenham as the Jaguars beat the Dolphins at the death.

    That KJ Hamler reception has just got the Broncos fans roaring and set up what could be a thrilling finish here at Wembley.

  14. Great play!

    Denver Broncos 14-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Well, the initial answer is an emphatic YES! Wilson launches a deep pass for KJ Hamler for a huge 47-yard gain and straight away flip the field on the Jags.

  15. Can Russ cook?

    Right then, Russell Wilson has just under four minutes left and three points at least to find.

    Can he do it? Let us know #bbcnfl

  16. Touchdown - Jaguars

    Denver Broncos 14-17 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Who else but Travis Etienne! The running back has been running the show all day and he takes the hand off, finds the narrowest of gaps and burrows over to put the Jags in front.

  17. On the one

    Denver Broncos 14-10 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Travis Etienne is taken in a rugby scrum style to the one-yard line for a first down and goal.

    The Jags have four goes to punch this one in - which is now three as they fail with the first run attempt.

  18. Trickeration

    Denver Broncos 14-10 Jacksonville Jaguars

    Wideout Zay Jones takes the reverse and motors out to the right but just can't find a seam and he's brought down at the five.

  19. Lawrence strike

    Denver Broncos 14-10 Jacksonville Jaguars

    It's a bullet from Lawrence to Christian Kirk who has been quiet today, and a follow-up run by Travis Etienne gets the Jags into the red zone.
