When the game turns to the leg of Ka'imi Fairbairn, teams might as well starting packing it in.
Fairbairn, one of the NFL's top clutch kickers, did it again for the Houston Texans, this time from 49 yards out as time expired to secure a 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. While an 0-4 start is far from what the Texans envisioned at the start of the year, Houston isn't dead yet.

The drive was near-flawless from Houston following a game-tying 62-yard kick from Jaguars kicker Cam Little. A 19-yard pass to Woody Marks on third down put Houston within Jaguars' territory.
With 56 seconds remaining, it ws clear Houston could have pushed forward for a score, but it knew it would at least be in range.
On third down, Cade Stover was stuffed on a "Tush Push", though initially it was thought to be a first-down run. A virtual measurement showed that Houston was just about two inches short.
In the end, it didn't matter. Fairbairn did Fairbairn things, giving the Texans the win and a change of heart in the divison race entering Week 7.
The Texans have one more game before the bye week, this time at home against the New York Giants. Kickoff is scheuled for Noon on CBS.
