The Jacksonville Jaguars trailed the Philadelphia Eagles 17-16 with 8 seconds left in London on Sunday. Ameer Abdullah returned the kickoff 53 yards, and Cam Little’s 57-yard field goal as time expired gave Jacksonville a 19-17 win.
Trevor Lawrence threw for 331 yards and two touchdown passes, and the Jaguars held Philadelphia to 22 rushing yards, according to the Associated Press.
At 4-1, the Jaguars barely moved. Two outlets bumped them up a spot and two held them in place, which leaves Jacksonville in the top five everywhere as it stays in London for a second straight week.

Nobody is higher on Jacksonville than Conor Orr, who kept the Jaguars at No. 2. His note was about receiver Parker Washington. “I did not have Parker Washington Max Extension watch on my bingo card,” Orr wrote, before wondering whether Washington could out-earn CeeDee Lamb next season.
Washington had six catches for 124 yards Sunday and landed among the four winners and two losers from London.

Pete Prisco moved the Jaguars up a spot but wasn’t impressed with the win. He thinks they were fortunate to get past Philadelphia playing that way and doesn’t expect them to win many games like it.
Jacksonville did come away with a problem it can’t ignore. The Jaguars went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1 with a second left in the first half and didn’t score.

ESPN’s panel held Jacksonville at No. 5, and Michael DiRocco admitted his concern is nitpicky. The Jaguars are first in run defense and second in scoring defense, but he’d like more sacks. Their 80 pressures are tied for sixth, yet edge rushers Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker have 3.5 sacks combined.

Ralph Vacchiano moved the Jaguars up a spot and joked that they owe Nick Sirianni flowers for how the Eagles managed the finish. He pointed out that Jacksonville outgained Philadelphia 408-232, and he was hard on Liam Coen for passing up two easy field goals.
Even so, Vacchiano noted the Jaguars are 12-1 over their past 13 regular-season games, the best mark in the NFL in that span. Coen’s group found a way to win ugly again.
Jacksonville stays at Wembley Stadium to face the 1-4 Houston Texans on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET.
