Story summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars played against the Philadelphia Eagles in London on October 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of the NFL's international series. This marked the Jaguars' 15th regular-season game in London, following a multi-year deal signed by team owner Shad Khan in 2012. The Eagles faced significant challenges due to injuries and recent personnel changes, including Lane Johnson’s retirement midseason and Cam Jurgens’ trade.

The opening kickoff saw rookie Josh Cameron return the ball for a potential touchdown, only for it to be nullified by offsetting penalties, one of which included a hold by Branson Combs. Additionally, a scuffle at midfield led to the ejection of two players: Bryan Thomas Jr from the Jaguars and Jeremiah Trotter Jr from the Eagles. The game restarted after these incidents.
