Cam Little’s 57-Yard Field Goal Lifts Jaguars Past Eagles in Crazy London Finish

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little made up for a late missed extra point with a 57-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Jacksonville to a 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in London. Little’s kick came one play after running back Ameer Abdullah returned a kickoff 53 yards into Philadelphia territory with one second left.

The Jaguars improved to 4-1 by surviving a game that swung repeatedly in the fourth quarter. Philadelphia took a 17-16 lead on Jake Elliott’s 48-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining, but Abdullah’s return created one final miraculous opportunity for Little.

Little had missed the extra point after wide receiver Parker Washington’s late go-ahead touchdown, a miss affected by a high snap; long snapper Ross Matiscik had left the game early because of injury. Defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton filled in as an emergency snapper on kicks while helping a Jacksonville defense limit the Eagles to 22 rushing yards, according to Locked On Jaguars host Tony Wiggins.

Washington supplied two touchdowns, including the fourth-down score that briefly put Jacksonville ahead late. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for 331 yards and gave the Jaguars just enough production in the fourth quarter.

Wiggins credited the Jaguars for making the decisive plays but questioned head coach Liam Coen’s red zone decisions. He argued Coen should have taken available points rather than taking aggressive chances against Vic Fangio’s defense.

The Jaguars remain in London for another week — they will face the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 18. Their 4-1 start gives them momentum, but health on the offensive line and at long snapper will shape how much of it they can carry into the AFC South matchup.

Jaguars News and Notes

– Wiggins said Coen’s decision-making near the goal line became unnecessarily aggressive, even with Matiscik unavailable. Jacksonville converted enough late opportunities to win, but Matiscik’s health will remain a central issue heading into Week 6.

– Left tackle Anton Harrison left the game on a cart after an apparent knee injury, adding to the Jaguars’ protection concerns. Wiggins also pointed to recurring play-clock issues involving Lawrence and center Robert Hainsey, plus 13 penalties, as problems Jacksonville must correct.
