The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 19-17 on Sunday, utilizing a late blunder by the Eagles. After the Eagles took a 17-16 lead with eight seconds remaining, they opted to kick off rather than allow a touchback. Ameer Abdullah returned the kick 53 yards to the Eagles’ 39-yard line, setting up a 57-yard field goal by Cam Little as time expired. The Eagles had previously struggled on kickoff coverage, a fact highlighted by the Jaguars' substantial return on the game's opening kickoff, which was ultimately negated by penalties. Head coach Nick Sirianni admitted that he made a poor decision that contributed to the loss.
