Kurt Benkert disputes fumble call during Eagles vs. Jaguars matchup
Summary

In a closely contested game, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert criticized a key call during the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars matchup held in London. Just before halftime, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence handed the ball to running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., and a pileup ensued inches from the end zone. Officials reviewed the play but did not award a turnover to the Eagles, prompting Benkert to assert that Jalen Carter had forced a fumble that was overlooked. Meanwhile, following a chaotic start with two ejections, the Jaguars managed a touchdown, but the Eagles took a 14-7 lead into halftime after scoring two unanswered touchdowns.
