Is a 747 That Much Faster With Headwinds Then a 767-400?

I will soon be traveling from Frankfurt to Houston so I was checking the flight times today.

The LH440 made the trip in 10hrs 49 minutes
The CO 47 (767-4) schedule to make the trip in 11hrs 36 minutes.

They both departed at a reasonable time from their scheduled departure. All of the above is per FlightAware.

Could the 747 be that much faster in headwinds then a two engine 767-4?
