Eagles squander win vs. Jaguars: Winners and losers from London game

The Jacksonville Jaguars secured a dramatic 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in London, snapping an NFC South rivalry game that saw the Eagles squander a late lead. The Jaguars’ special teams sealed the win with a clutch play: Ameer Abdullah’s 53-yard kickoff return set up Cam Little’s game-winning 57-yard field goal with just one second remaining, lifting Jacksonville to a 4-1 record and tying them with the Kansas City Chiefs for the most wins in the AFC.

Meanwhile, the Eagles—already reeling from a three-game losing streak—faced mounting questions about their season trajectory, despite a valiant effort from their backups, including rookie RB Will Shipley and reserve WR Darius Cooper, who scored the team’s two touchdowns. The absence of key players like Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and the sudden retirement of Lane Johnson further complicated Philadelphia’s struggles on both sides of the ball.

The Eagles’ passionate fanbase, however, remained unwavering in their support, filling Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for what felt like a home game. Meanwhile, the NFL’s London broadcast trio—led by Jason Kelce—brought energy and humor to the matchup, with Kelce’s sharp insights and playful moments, including a lighthearted reference to faith during a critical Jaguars drive, adding a unique flair to the game’s final act.

Despite the loss, the Eagles’ resilience and their fans’ loyalty offer a glimmer of hope amid a challenging season.
