Jaguars Prepare for Eagles Clash in London With Turnover Edge

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London with Jacksonville seeking a third straight win under head coach Liam Coen. The Jaguars enter as 7.5-point favorites after a 22-17 victory over Cincinnati, according to Sports Yahoo.

Sports Yahoo reported that Jacksonville has won 11 of its past 12 regular-season games, but Coen emphasized the team has not secured long-term success despite its recent run.

"We still have not earned anything," said Liam Coen, head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jacksonville's defense has created a major advantage early in the season, leading the NFL with a plus-6 turnover margin. The Jaguars have recorded an interception in nine straight games and forced a red-zone turnover in all four contests, according to Sports Yahoo.

"I feel strongly if we can win the turnover margin, we can win the game," said Trevor Lawrence, quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Lawrence has thrown eight touchdown passes and posted a 111.2 passer rating in his second season working with Coen, according to Sports Yahoo. He also has a 4-3 record in seven starts in the United Kingdom.

The Jaguars have also limited opponents defensively, allowing 13.3 points per game, which ranks second in the NFL. However, Sports Yahoo reported Jacksonville's secondary has allowed 291.5 passing yards per game, ranking 31st in the league.

"Any time you have a quarterback who can do both, it's always a challenge," said Liam Coen, head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Coen was referring to Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has 105 rushing yards and one touchdown. Philadelphia enters the game without running back Saquon Barkley because of a hamstring injury and without Tank Bigsby after his placement on injured reserve, according to Heavy.

Heavy reported that Philadelphia's available running back options include Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele. Shipley was already on the active roster, while Pierce and Steele were elevated from the practice squad for the matchup.

The Eagles offense has struggled to sustain drives, converting 35.8 percent of third downs this season and averaging 18.8 points per game, which ranks 26th in the NFL, according to Sports Yahoo.

Philadelphia's offensive line has also been adjusted after losing Lane Johnson to retirement and Cam Jurgens through a trade. Sports Yahoo reported that Jacksonville recorded 74 pressures through four games, including 17 quarterback hits.

The Eagles have won five straight meetings against the Jaguars and hold a 31-14 road record since 2021, according to Sports Yahoo. The teams are scheduled to meet in London with Philadelphia also facing uncertainty over how its running back workload will be distributed.
