    Right then, as the Jaguars head back to Florida bouncing and the Bills skulk back to Buffalo with their tails between their legs, we'll wrap things up from another exciting NFL game in London.

    It was one of the most thrilling and definitely one of the loudest NFL games in the UK - a success all round, apart from the result if you're a Buffalo Bills fan.

    We'll have our regular review of the rest of Sunday's action in our NFL channel on the website and we're back next week right here at Tottenham for the third and final London game as the Baltimore Ravens face the Tennessee Titans.

    So thanks for joining us today and see you then!

    The stat line reads Josh Allen threw for 359 yards and two touchdowns and ran in one himself - but behind the numbers he really struggled a lot today.

    It was Trevor Lawrence who looked more impressive and got the big throws done at the big moments - repeatedly converting third downs.

    Penalties at ley moments also cost the Bills big time - as both teams now sit on a 3-2 record for the season.

  3. Did jet lag play a part?published at 18:17 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 25-20 Buffalo Bills

    This is a big question if the NFL are to move forward with the idea of a team possibly being based in the UK or Europe, or at least in the immediate future having the Jags play back-to-back games here.

    The Bills dominated the Dolphins last week, and while the Jags are a good team, there was some uncharacteristically sloppy play from Buffalo - who only got off the plane a few days ago.

    11 penalties against them, for a 109 yards, didn't help one bit and a lot of them were lapses of concentration - and with the Jags already over in London from the week before, did they have the advantage?

    We won't really know the answer but it's something to think about.

  4. 'They played better'published at 18:07 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Did the fact Buffalo only arrived late this week while the Jags have spent two weeks in London make an impact in the game?

    Josh Allen doesn't think so: “It doesn’t matter if we arrived here Thursday, Friday or Saturday - we just didn’t play well and they played better than us and that’s why they won."

    “What you have just witnessed here is the coming of age of a generational quarterback. Can you deliver when your team needs it?

    "The Jacksonville Jaguars, oh my goodness. Back-to-back wins in London, they are going to roar back to the USA” - two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora on ITV.

  6. Can we play here every week?published at 18:01 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    It's 'second home sweet second home' for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who improve to 3-2 on the season and have won more games in London so far than they have back in Florida.

    Their only other win this season came in Indianapolis, while they lost both of their games in Jacksonville.

    Maybe they'll come back to play three times in London next season?

  7. FT - Jags win!published at 17:56 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Trevor Lawrence takes a knee and that's the game - the Jacksonville Jaguars take this one and make it back-to-back wins in London in a hugely successful experiment.

    The Bills will be bitterly disappointed with that display, especially on the offensive side of the ball as they really struggled to get anything going until the very end.

  8. Game over!published at 17:54 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 25-20 Buffalo Bills

    The Bills try to be fancy off the first play with Stefon Diggs catching the pass then trying to offload it, but the ball hits the ground and the Jags recover.

    And that'll be the game.

    The ball is fumbled on the return and that extra time wasted means Buffalo have 22 seconds left - and need a miracle.

  10. One last chancepublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 25-20 Buffalo Bills

    With just 30 seconds left to play, the Jags punt it back to the Bills, who have no timeouts remember.

    They scored in 45 second last time....

  11. Here's the game...published at 17:50 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    It's all about clock management now, with the Jags running the play clock down before taking a timeout.

    If they get a first down here they win.

  12. Two-minute warningpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Tow minutes left - Jags have the ball near midfield. Their job is to run this clock down, the Bills have to stop them getting a first down as Buffalo have no timeouts remaining...

    The Bills go for the on-side kick but it bobbles out of bounds and the Jags get the ball near midfield.

    Game on! Josh Allen bulldozers his way in, with a little help from his friends, and we've got a game on our hands.

    Wow! Talk about this being crucial for the game, then next minute Travis Etienne busts clear and scampers in for the touchdown.

    It's a 35-yard run in the books but more importantly a 12-point lead for the Jaguars and with just a few ticks under three minutes left that could be it.

    Either way the Bills need a quick score...

  17. Lawrence lands a big onepublished at 17:38 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Again Trevor Lawrence gets his team out of trouble with a huge pass under pressure, and yet again it's Calvin Ridley that has broken free of the Bills defence for a huge 32-yard gain.

    In the context of the game that's a massive completion.

    Jacksonville Jaguars 18-13 Buffalo Bills

    Hope you're keeping up with all this! After all that, crucially the two-point try failing means the Jags lead by a touchdown and with just over three minutes left to go they'll try and run this clock down now for the win.

    Big third down coming up.

    This one stands!

    And wouldn't you just no it it's Gabe Davis again, as Josh Allen goes on the run then floats a pass to the same man and this time the flags that come out are on the defence.

    The Bills go for two though and don't convert it, so the lead is five.
