It was hardly perfect but it was a win.

And the Denver Broncos will take it.

Running back Latavius Murray scored on a two-yard touchdown run with 1:43 to go in the fourth quarter to give the Broncos a 21-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

The Broncos snap their four-game losing streak and raise their record to 3-5. The Jaguars are 2-6.

Jacksonville took the lead on Travis Etienne's one-yard scoring run with 3:54 remaining to give the Jags a 17-14 lead.

The Broncos, however, responded with a seven-play, 80-yard drive that took 2:11 off the clock. Murray capped it with the short touchdown run. Russell Wilson's 47-yard strike to KJ Hamler down the right sideline helped set up the score.

After a slow start, the Broncos offense showed some refreshing signs of life that it had not shown much all year. The Broncos had an 11-play, 75-yard TD drive late in the second quarter. Then early in the third quarter, Denver came up with a nine-play, 98-yard march that consumed 4:12.

Wilson finished 18-of-30 passing for 252 yards, with a touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy and one interception. Murray led the Broncos with 46 yards rushing on 14 carries and the score.
