11 Oct
Summary
- Parker Washington scored a 51-yard touchdown, giving Jacksonville the lead.
- Travis Hunter made a rare offensive contribution with a nine-yard reception.
- Philadelphia's unexpected fourth-down play call led to a turnover.
The Jaguars established an early lead in London today with a significant offensive play. Wide receiver Parker Washington broke free for a 51-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, putting Jacksonville ahead 7-0.
This pivotal score came shortly after a rare offensive snap for two-way player Travis Hunter, who secured a nine-yard reception on second down. The drive that led to the touchdown began when the Eagles' defense failed to convert on fourth-and-1.
Philadelphia's decision to pass on a tush push play with Jalen Hurts in the shotgun, instead handing off to running back Will Shipley, resulted in a turnover on downs. Now, the Eagles' offense faces pressure to perform.
