Will Shipley Scores to Tie Eagles and Jaguars in London

Philadelphia tied Jacksonville at 7-7 in their NFL Week 5 matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday, October 11, 2026, when running back Will Shipley scored on a two-yard touchdown run. According to NBC Sports, a pass interference penalty against Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter helped the Eagles extend the drive and reach the end zone. The scoring play came after Philadelphia faced third down and an incomplete pass threatened to force the team to settle for a field goal.

Hunter's penalty gave the Eagles a first-and-goal opportunity, allowing them to continue the possession and capitalize with Shipley's touchdown. The game also brought an early special teams challenge for Jacksonville after long snapper Ross Matiscik suffered a shoulder injury on his first snap. Defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton took over the long-snapping duties, according to NBC Sports.

Hamilton's first attempt, on the extra point following Shipley's touchdown, sailed high. Punter Logan Cooke recovered the snap and positioned the ball well enough for kicker Cam Little to convert the kick, preserving the tie at 7-7.

Hamilton's second snap, on a punt, was completed successfully. Jacksonville therefore managed to continue its special teams operations despite losing its regular long snapper early in the contest. Philadelphia entered the matchup seeking to halt a difficult stretch after opening the season with victories over the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans. According to PhillyVoice, the Eagles then lost to the Chicago Bears in Week 3 before surrendering a 10-point lead in a Week 4 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Eagles also faced significant personnel concerns heading into the London game. PhillyVoice reported that the team had a lengthy injury list and that offensive lineman Lane Johnson had announced his retirement during the week. The report also highlighted the absences of Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby as challenges for Philadelphia's running game against Jacksonville's defense.

Jacksonville entered the contest in comparatively better health, according to PhillyVoice. The matchup placed Philadelphia's struggling offense against a Jaguars defense that the outlet identified as a major obstacle, particularly with opposing defenses repeatedly using blitzes against the Eagles.

Shipley's touchdown brought the teams level after Jacksonville had taken the lead. The score stood at 7-7 following Little's successful extra point, with Hamilton continuing to fill in for the injured Matiscik on long snaps.
