Late Drama Decides the Outcome
The Eagles moved ahead 17-16 on a 48-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining. The ensuing kickoff went to Ameer Abdullah, who returned it 53 yards. That positioned the Jaguars for a 57-yard field goal by Cam Little that ended the game at 19-17. Philadelphia fell to 2-3 while Jacksonville improved to 4-1. The contest marked the first time in the Super Bowl Era that two go-ahead field goals occurred inside the final 10 seconds.
Sirianni Accepts Responsibility
He noted the team had fought hard yet the final decision cost them the result. The sequence followed a 48-yard field goal that had put Philadelphia in front after the Jaguars had drawn 13 penalties for 100 yards earlier in the game.
Little Delivers in London
The 57-yard kick came after the Jaguars overcame multiple setbacks, including a nullified 90-yard return. Little, who had kicked a 68-yard field goal the previous season, described the moment in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the highlight of his career given his soccer background. The win improved Jacksonville despite the heavy penalty total for the second straight week.
