Watch every scoring drive from the NFL’s London opener: Indianapolis 30, Washington 13, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 4, 2026. The official league highlights follow the game’s hinge — Jonathan Taylor’s two five-yard touchdowns, the Jaylon Carlies interception that broke Washington’s resistance, Spencer Shrader’s long field goals, and the afternoon’s defining hardship, the Commanders losing Marcus Mariota to a knee injury on their second possession and finishing with rookie Athan Kaliakmanis throwing a 47-yard touchdown to Treylon Burks.
Our Sports desk’s full match report is published today alongside this video, including the standings consequences — Indianapolis to 2-2, Washington to 1-3 — and the context of a nine-game international season that returns to London twice more this month. Highlights compress; the report explains. Together they are the record of the day the league’s travelling season came back to its longest-running foreign home.
A note for the neutral: London crowds have a connoisseur’s habit of adopting the underdog by the third quarter, and Washington’s rookie-led rally briefly gave them one. The highlights preserve the afternoon’s true shape, though — an Indianapolis team that travelled better, defended the red zone, and let its running back close the show. With Eagles-Jaguars at Tottenham next and Texans-Jaguars at Wembley to follow, this reel is also the form guide for the residency: the standard, set on October 4, is professional, physical, and exportable.
