The Jacksonville Jaguars registered an incredible come-from-behind victory to move to 4-1, as they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in London, 19-17.
It looked like Jalen Hurts had just led a game-winning drive, setting up Jake Elliott with a 48-yard field goal to give Philly a 19-17 lead with eight seconds remaining. However, Jags returner Ameer Abdullah returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards to set up Cam Little with a 57-yard field goal, which he hit for the win. Defensive lineman DaVon Hamilton, who had to sub in at long snapper on Sunday, redeemed himself after a high snap led to a missed extra point earlier in the second half.
Trevor Lawrence threw for 331 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on Sunday, and Parker Washington was his top target. He caught six passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns.
As for the Eagles, to say they were short-handed this week is an understatement. Right tackle Lane Johnson retired on Tuesday, left guard/center Cam Jurgens was traded on Wednesday, and they were without Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Tank Bigsby, Drew Kendall and Jonathan Greenard. However, the Eagles didn’t lie down and were highly competitive until the coverage team’s gaffe at the very end. It doesn’t make this loss any easier, as Philly has now dropped three straight games.
