Jaguars Beat Eagles 19 to 17 in London Week 5 Game
The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 19-17 in their NFL Week 5 matchup in London on October 11, 2026, securing the victory with a 57-yard field goal as time expired. Jacksonville recovered from a late Philadelphia lead to finish the game with a decisive kick after a return gave the team a favorable opportunity. The Eagles appeared poised to escape with a win when Jake Elliott converted a 48-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining, putting Philadelphia ahead 17-16.
Jacksonville responded with a final drive that produced the winning kick, according to Bleeding Green Nation's game-day updates. Philadelphia's offensive line also entered the matchup dealing with injuries among its starters. The team moved Willie Lampkin to left guard and relied on rookie Jake Majors as the replacement for Kendall, adding pressure to an offense that had already experienced pass-protection difficulties.
Jacksonville opened the scoring in the first quarter when Parker Washington caught a pass and turned it into a 51-yard touchdown. The Jaguars took a 7-0 lead after their second offensive drive, putting Philadelphia in an early deficit.
The Eagles responded in the second quarter with a two-yard rushing touchdown by Will Shipley, tying the score at 7-7. Philadelphia then took a 14-7 advantage when Jalen Hurts connected with Darius Cooper for a 62-yard touchdown, according to the live game tracker published by Bleeding Green Nation. Jacksonville narrowed the margin in the third quarter with a 34-yard field goal, making the score 14-10.
The Jaguars continued their comeback in the fourth quarter, when Washington caught a deep touchdown pass to put Jacksonville ahead 16-14. The team missed the extra-point attempt, leaving its advantage at two points.
Philadelphia's late field goal briefly restored its lead, but Jacksonville's final possession changed the outcome. The 57-yard kick secured a 19-17 victory for the Jaguars at the end of regulation. Pre-game statistics published by USA TODAY Sports showed Jacksonville entering the contest with a 2-0 record at home for the 2026 season. The Jaguars had also won eight of their previous 10 games, while Philadelphia had a 1-1 road record before the matchup.
The same USA TODAY Sports data listed Jacksonville at 3-1 against non-divisional opponents before the game, compared with Philadelphia's 1-2 record in such matchups. The result added another home victory for Jacksonville and left Philadelphia to contend with its offensive-line injury concerns following the London defeat.
