Cam Little Drills 57-Yard Winner as Jaguars Stun Eagles 19-17 in London

Q: What critical late-game decision did Eagles coach Nick Sirianni regret that cost Philadelphia a dramatic London victory?

Nick Sirianni regretted the Eagles’ late clock management — specifically allowing Philadelphia to kick Jake Elliott’s go-ahead field goal with eight seconds still left instead of draining the clock and taking the kick as time expired. That decision gave Jacksonville one final chance. On the ensuing kickoff, Ameer Abdullah returned the ball 53 yards in about seven seconds, leaving one second on the clock. That was enough for Cam Little to hit the 57-yard game-winner. Sirianni said afterward that the mistake was on him. The issue was not the choice to kick the field goal itself, but doing so too early and leaving the Jaguars time for a return and one last play.

Q: How did a single second on the clock allow the Jaguars to steal a thrilling 19-17 win overseas?

Jacksonville stole the game because Ameer Abdullah turned the final kickoff into one last scoring chance. After Jake Elliott’s 48-yard field goal put Philadelphia ahead 17-16 with eight seconds left, the Jaguars still had enough time for the kickoff. Abdullah returned it 53 yards into Eagles territory and was tackled with one second remaining, preserving a final snap. That single second was enough for Jacksonville to send Cam Little out for a 57-yard field-goal attempt. Little, a former soccer player who said kicking in London was the “coolest moment” of his career, drilled it as time expired to give the Jaguars a 19-17 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The sequence was made possible by Philadelphia’s late-game kickoff decision. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said afterward that he “didn’t make the right decision” and put the loss on himself, a reference to not forcing a touchback or kicking in a way that would have eliminated a return opportunity. The dramatic finish mattered even more because Little’s missed extra point after Parker Washington’s late touchdown had left Jacksonville ahead by only two, allowing Elliott’s field goal to briefly swing the lead to Philadelphia. But the Jaguars’ special teams answered immediately, and that one second on the clock turned into the winning kick.
