Summary
Eight seconds after Philadelphia took a 17-16 lead, Jacksonville turned a 53-yard kickoff return into Cam Little’s 57-yard game-winning field goal in London, reigniting scrutiny of Nick Sirianni.
The backlash centered on the decision not to force a touchback with the Jaguars out of timeouts, a sequence critics said handed one of the league’s strongest legs a final chance.
Former NFL quarterbacks Kurt Benkert and Chase Daniel, along with media figures and fans on X, blamed Sirianni and the Eagles’ special teams for the late-game mismanagement and called for his firing.
The loss dropped Philadelphia to a third straight defeat after a 2-0 start, with the offense ranked 28th on PFN’s Offense Impact Metric and already under pressure after Lane Johnson’s retirement.
