With their All-Pro long snapper hurt, DT DaVon Hamilton delivers as 'MVP' for Jaguars on game-winning 57-yard FG vs. Eagles

The Jacksonville Jaguars secured a dramatic 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. Kicker Cam Little sealed the win by converting a 57-yard field goal in the final second of the contest.

The game-winning drive was set up by a kickoff return from Ameer Abdullah after Jake Elliott had briefly restored the lead for Philadelphia late in the fourth quarter.

Jacksonville was forced to adjust early after long snapper Ross Matiscik suffered a shoulder injury on his very first snap of the game. Matiscik was listed as questionable to return, prompting the Jaguars to rely on defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton to fill in at the unusual position.

Hamilton, who is not an offensive lineman, handled the snapping duties for the remainder of the matchup.

Hamilton's initial attempt as the backup long snapper came on an extra point, resulting in a high snap. Holder Logan Cooke recovered the ball and positioned it successfully for Little's kick.

Hamilton followed that up with a second snap on a punt that was described as perfect. On the final play of the game, Hamilton delivered the snap for the 57-yard field goal attempt, and Cooke placed the ball well enough for Little to send the game-winner through the uprights.

Earlier in the contest, the game was tied 7-7 before Philadelphia's offense moved ahead. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts connected with Will Shipley for a two-yard touchdown run, giving the Eagles a 14-7 lead.

Despite the deficit, Jacksonville mounted a late comeback to pull ahead before the late sequence of field goals. The victory marked the Jaguars' third consecutive win over the Eagles in the 2026 season.
