Eagles 14-16 Jaguars 1:00, 4th quarter
Oops, on 2nd and 10 the Eagles false start. They bite back nine on a pass out to the right to Dontayvion Wicks. Wicks then grabs the 1st down. Around 12 yards to go for the game-winning field goal.
Meanwhile we are underway in the 6pm slate!
Eagles 14-16 Jaguars 1:35, 4th quarter
Philadelphia stop Jacksonville will ease after some poor playcalling. Still plenty of time for a game-winning field goal. A short kick has the Eagles starting on their 40-yard line.
SACK! Eagles 14-16 Jaguars 1:59, 4th quarter
The Jags get to Jalen Hurts for a huge loss of 10 yards. The Eagles need 20 on 3rd down but they settle for a punt and now need the defense to get a stop.
TOUCHDOWN! Eagles 14-16 Jaguars 3:20, 4th quarter
Jacksonville have a 3rd down here with about 25 to go to pay dirt. The pass is tipped with Trevor Lawrence awkwardly backpedalling after Philadelphia’s AJ Epenesa reads the play fake.
Awkward looking no more. On 4th down Lawrence uncorks a beauty into the end zone and Parker Washington makes an incredible one-handed grab while tumbling backwards and in for the score.
Sadly for the Jags they miss the extra point with a stand-in place holder. Eagles need a field goal for the win and have acres of clock to do it.
Eagles 14-10 Jaguars 5:27, 4th quarter
The Eagles go 3 and out and have to punt from their end zone. The Jags take over right on midfield.
Eagles 14-10 Jaguars 5:48, 4th quarter
Stat alert! Philadelphia have not scored in the second half of a game since week two. That explains why they are 2-2 then.
Eagles 14-10 Jaguars 6:33, 4th quarter
Meanwhile we have a game underway in London. And the Jaguars are having a hard time in the red zone against the Eagles. Two empty trips and they are knocking on the door now on 3rd and Goal but have just committed a second delay of game on this set of downs. The Eagles fans are deafening. The pass is short of the end zone and Philadelphia stop them.
The Jaguars go for it all for the lead. NO GOOD! Three red zone trips, zero touchdowns for the Jags. They were 1st and Goal at the one-yard line. Ouch.
The injury news around the NFL is Caleb Williams misses out for a third week for the Chicago Bears in a big boost for their rivals in the NFC North today. Elsewhere Justin Jefferson is back for Minnesota, Terry McLaurin returns for Washington and Cincinnati get a big lift with both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase suiting up after injury problems in the week.
