Jaguars 19, Eagles 17: Little’s 57-yard field goal lifts Jacksonville in London
LONDON — Oct. 11, 2026 — The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 19-17 Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when kicker Cam Little converted a 57-yard field goal as time expired, Jaguars senior writer John Oehser reported. The game-winner capped a wild finish in which the Eagles had taken the lead with eight seconds remaining on a 48-yard field goal. Little’s kick and the ensuing celebration provided the final drama in a contest that featured missed opportunities and persistent penalties.
The Jaguars needed a dramatic special-teams play to set up the final attempt. Veteran returner Ameer Abdullah took the kickoff 53 yards to give Jacksonville the field position necessary for Little’s 57-yard try, according to Oehser. Head coach Liam Coen acknowledged after the game that he was not sure the Jaguars deserved to win, reflecting how close the outcome had been.
Wide receiver Parker Washington supplied two touchdowns for Jacksonville, including a 51-yard catch-and-run that produced a 7-0 lead in the first quarter and a 27-yard scoring play in the fourth that Oehser called perhaps the more impressive of the two. Washington is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season, a point Oehser noted in his recap. His contributions provided key offensive sparks in a tight contest.
Discipline remained a concern as Jacksonville was flagged 13 times for 100 yards in the game, continuing a trend after a 13-penalty outing for 125 yards the previous week, Oehser wrote. The crowd in London tilted noticeably toward Philadelphia, with Oehser reporting that Eagles fans traveled well and were loud throughout the afternoon. That atmosphere shaped much of the event but did not alter the outcome.
Nose tackle DaVon Hamilton stood out with a fourth-and-1 stop on Eagles running back Will Shipley that stopped an Eagles drive at the Jacksonville 37 in the first quarter, and the Jaguars took a 7-0 lead three plays later. Hamilton also filled in as long snapper for the final three quarters while Ross Matiscik was out with a shoulder injury, a role that drew deserved praise in Oehser’s recap. Not everyone notices nose tackles, but Hamilton’s play drew attention throughout the game.
The Jaguars finished the afternoon 4-1, and the volatile nature of the win ensured it will be remembered for the dramatic finish more than for the mistakes the team overcame. Oehser wrote that while Jacksonville did not play perfectly, the victory reinforced how NFL games often hinge on timely plays and a bit of fortune. The club celebrated the late kick and the return that made it possible, an ending that underscored the unpredictable theater of professional football.

Special teams produced the decisive sequence in London: Ameer Abdullah’s 53-yard return created the chance and Cam Little delivered from 57 yards, showing that Jacksonville’s kicking and return game can swing tightly contested matchups. The Jaguars also received critical contributions from Parker Washington and DaVon Hamilton, who made plays on offense and defense and even handled long snapping duties when needed. However, the 13 penalties for 100 yards highlight a continuing discipline issue that could undermine consistency if it persists. For now, the Jaguars leave London 4-1, but they will need cleaner play and continued special-teams production to sustain their start.
