Nick Sirianni's seat getting warmer? Eagles coach accepts blame for London loss to Jaguars

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their third consecutive defeat on Sunday, falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-17 in a hard-fought matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The game hinged on a late, controversial strategic call that ultimately swung the outcome.

With just eight seconds remaining and the Eagles leading 17-16, the team opted to leave the kickoff in play rather than kicking it into the end zone. This decision allowed Jaguars returner Ameer Abdullah to break free for a 53-yard gain, setting up Cam Little’s game-winning 57-yard field goal.

The loss marked the end of a franchise-record streak of 76 consecutive games where the Eagles had been at least .500, dropping them below that threshold for the first time since 2021.

Head coach Nick Sirianni took full responsibility for the loss, acknowledging that the decision to leave the kickoff in play cost his team the victory. Speaking to reporters afterward, Sirianni admitted he had not made the right call, emphasizing that his team had fought hard but ultimately fell short due to his strategic misstep.

The Eagles’ roster has been significantly impacted by injuries, retirements, and trades this season, yet they still found themselves in a position to defeat one of the AFC’s hottest teams—only to lose in the final seconds.
