On the opening kickoff of an NFL game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Josh Cameron returned a 55-yard kick for a 90-yard touchdown, which would have been the season's first kickoff return touchdown. However, multiple penalties were called, including illegal formations from both teams and unsportsmanlike conduct by players Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Bryan Thomas Jr., leading to their ejections and the nullification of the touchdown. The game began with chaotic officiating and player misconduct, setting a bizarre tone for the match.

Story summary
On October 11, the Jacksonville Jaguars played against the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London as part of the NFL International Series. This marked the Jaguars' 15th regular season game in London, following a multi-year deal signed by owner Shad Khan to ensure the team plays annually in their "secondary market." The Jaguars entered the game with an impressive 3-1 record and had allowed fewer than 20 points per game all season. However, they faced the Eagles, who were struggling with injuries and a reshuffled offensive line due to Lane Johnson's retirement and Cam Jurgens' trade.
The game started with an unusual kickoff where Josh Cameron of the Jaguars returned it for a 90-yard touchdown, but it was nullified by penalties including holding by Branson Combs. Additionally, two players from each team were ejected following a skirmish at midfield. Despite these early issues, the NFL’s push to expand internationally continued as fans in London got their taste of American football action.

If the point of playing games in London is to give the Brits a taste of, as they say over there, crackers NFL action then Sunday's game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium did that from the start.

Back upfield, officials – they had quite a week, by the way – had thrown multiple flags on the play.

Two of those officials saw so much hijinks they threw their flag and then, seeing a second foul, threw their caps.

And we learned both teams were flagged on the kickoff and players from both teams were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The touchdown was thus nullified because the Eagles lined up in an illegal formation and the Jaguars had linebacker Branson Combs called for holding.
asserted
Combs → nullify → holding
Then we learned that Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jacksonville linebacker Bryan Thomas Jr. were both flagged for giving each other the business.
asserted
Jr. → learn → business
It seems both men engaged in a block during the play and carried their standoff all the way to midfield where Trotter slammed Thomas to the turf after the play was over and then Thomas kicked up at Trotter while on his back.

Both were flagged.

Both were disqualified for the rest of the game – on a play that didn't even count.

That hurt the Eagles more as Trotter was expected to get work with the starting defense while Thomas is exclusively a special teams contributor.

And all that begs the question: Why did Eagles coach Nick Sirianni go for it on fourth-and-1 in the first place?
