- Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Bryan Thomas Jr. were ejected after scuffling on the opening kickoff of the Eagles-Jaguars game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday.
- The fight broke out during the play and continued after the play was over, with both players needing to be pulled apart.
- The ejection drama unfolded during Jaguars rookie Josh Cameron's 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
- Cameron's touchdown was nullified by offsetting penalties — Philadelphia for illegal formation and Jacksonville for a hold by linebacker Branson Combs.
- Officials met for several moments on the field before announcing the ejections.
Why it matters: The ejections on the very first play of the game overshadowed London's international NFL showcase, while offsetting penalties wiped out Jaguars rookie Josh Cameron's 90-yard kickoff return touchdown — robbing the undrafted rookie of a signature early-career highlight.
