Cam Little kicked a 57-yard field goal as time expired to give the Jacksonville Jaguars a thrilling 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday before a venue-record crowd of 61,322 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The game swung wildly in its final seconds. Philadelphia took a 17-16 lead on a 48-yard Jake Elliott field goal with eight seconds remaining — only for Jacksonville’s Ameer Abdullah to return the ensuing kickoff 53 yards and set up Little’s walk-off winner. It was the second of the 2026 NFL London Games.
The drama started even earlier: on the opening kickoff, Philadelphia linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jacksonville defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. were ejected within seconds following an on-field fight. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni accepted full responsibility after the defeat, telling reporters: “I didn’t make the right decision and I lost us that game.” Full game report.
Why it mattered
Sky Sports framed the night as possibly London’s greatest NFL moment, and the numbers backed it up: 61,322 spectators set a new NFL attendance record for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The league’s international push keeps gathering momentum, with London games now producing genuine classics rather than curiosities.
For Jacksonville, the win was a statement of resilience; for Philadelphia, a painful lesson in game management. Close finishes have been a theme across sports this weekend.
What comes next
The result reshapes the early-season picture for both teams as the NFL campaign moves deeper into autumn. Jacksonville will look to build on the momentum of a signature road win, while Philadelphia must regroup quickly — Sirianni’s honest self-assessment suggests the coaching staff knows exactly where the game was lost.
London, meanwhile, will host more NFL action in the seasons to come, and nights like this explain why. Another one-point thriller played out in New York the same weekend.
