Game report: Broncos 21, Jaguars 17


LONDON – Call this one that got away. Another one.

Call it another Jaguars game defined by missed opportunities and mistakes, too.

Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for a career-high 156 yards and the fourth-quarter go-ahead touchdown, but the Denver Broncos rallied with a touchdown and a takeaway in the final two minutes for a 21-17 victory in front of 86,215 on a gray, cool Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
