Cam Little seals Jaguars win over Eagles with 57-yard field goal in London
Cam Little converted from 57 yards with one second remaining as Jacksonville beat Philadelphia 19-17. Ameer Abdullah’s 53-yard kickoff return set up the decisive kick.

Cam Little kicked a 57-yard field goal with one second remaining to give the Jacksonville Jaguars a 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in London on Sunday. The result extended Jacksonville's winning streak to three games and left Philadelphia with a third consecutive defeat, according to the Guardian's game report.

Watch the highlights:

The finish turned twice in the final eight seconds. Jake Elliott first converted from 48 yards to put the Eagles ahead 17-16. Ameer Abdullah then returned the kickoff 53 yards to Philadelphia's 39-yard line, giving Little the opportunity to win the game. Jacksonville improved to 4-1, while the Eagles dropped to 2-3.

Little had earlier missed an extra point following a high snap from backup long snapper DaVon Hamilton. That attempt came after Parker Washington's 27-yard touchdown reception put Jacksonville in front 16-14 with 3:20 remaining. The missed kick left Philadelphia able to take the lead with a field goal, but Abdullah's return created one final scoring chance for the Jaguars.

Washington finished with six receptions for 124 yards and both of Jacksonville's touchdowns. Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, while tight end Brenton Strange contributed seven catches for 68 yards. Jacksonville gained 408 yards to Philadelphia's 232 despite committing 13 penalties that cost 100 yards.

The Jaguars had a 90-yard opening-kickoff touchdown return by Josh Cameron wiped out for holding before Washington opened the scoring on a 51-yard catch-and-run. Philadelphia answered through Will Shipley's two-yard touchdown run and Darius Cooper's 62-yard touchdown reception. Those second-quarter scores gave the Eagles a 14-7 half-time lead, preserved by Zach Baun's fourth-down tackle on Bhayshul Tuten near the goal line.

Little reduced the deficit with a 34-yard field goal on Jacksonville's first second-half possession. Another opportunity went unused midway through the fourth quarter, when three procedural penalties disrupted a first-and-goal chance from the one-yard line and the Jaguars turned the ball over on downs. Washington's second touchdown eventually brought the visitors back in front.

Jalen Hurts ended with 220 passing yards and one touchdown, completing 21 of 40 attempts. Cooper caught two passes for 71 yards. Philadelphia began without running backs Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby and also lost Shipley during the game. Elliott's late kick produced the Eagles' first second-half points since Week 2, but it was not enough to halt their losing run.
