- Cam Little kicked a 57-yard field goal as time expired to seal the Jacksonville Jaguars' 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, his helmet-off celebration mimicking Jude Bellingham.
- The Jaguars had conceded the lead eight seconds earlier when Jake Elliott connected on a 48-yard field goal, but Ameer Abdullah returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards to set up Little's winning attempt.
- The game erupted on the opening kickoff when Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr and Jaguars defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr were ejected for fighting, nullifying Josh Cameron's 90-yard kickoff return touchdown.
- Eagles coach Nick Sirianni took public blame for the loss, saying he should not have kicked the ball to the Jaguars in the closing seconds: "I didn't make the right decision, and I lost us that game."
- The Jaguars improved to 4-1 atop the AFC South on a three-game winning streak, while the injury-depleted Eagles — missing top running backs Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby — fell to 2-3 in the NFC East on a three-game skid.
- Parker Washington caught a first-quarter touchdown and a 27-yard fourth-quarter score for Jacksonville, while Will Shipley (the Eagles' third-choice back) and Darius Cooper scored for Philadelphia in a game that saw the Eagles lead 14-3 at halftime.
Why it matters: The Jaguars move to 4-1 atop the AFC South while the injury-depleted Eagles — missing Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby — fall to 2-3 with a three-game skid. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni publicly shouldered blame for the final-kickoff decision, an unusually candid admission that the dramatic finish was as much self-inflicted as miraculous.
