The Philadelphia Eagles surrendered a one-point lead when Jacksonville scored on a 57-yard field goal as time expired.

The Philadelphia Eagles squandered a one-point lead in the closing seconds of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, losing 19-17 on a 57-yard field goal by Jaguars kicker Cam Little as time expired.

The Eagles had kicked a field goal to go up 17-16 with eight seconds remaining. However, coach Nick Sirianni made a decision with the ensuing kickoff that proved decisive: instead of drilling the ball into the end zone, kicker Jake Elliott kicked it to Jacksonville returner Ameer Abdullah, who ran it back 53 yards and was tackled at the Eagles' 38-yard line. This left the Jaguars one second on the clock to attempt their winning field goal.

After the match, Sirianni took responsibility for the loss. 'I didn't make the right decision. I lost us that game,' he said. The defeat left the Eagles with a record of 2-3, while the Jaguars improved to 4-1. Several Philadelphia starters were unavailable, including running back Saquon Barkley and receivers DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown.
