Jacksonville beat Philadelphia 19-17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Cam Little made a 57-yard field goal with one second remaining.

The big picture: The Jaguars improved to 4-1 with one of the NFL season's strangest finishes, in front of a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium record crowd of 61,322. Philadelphia fell to 2-3 after taking the lead with eight seconds left.

  • The Eagles' late field goal put them ahead by one point. On the ensuing kickoff, Ameer Abdullah returned a line drive from the 8-yard line to Philadelphia's 39 with one second still on the clock.

Zoom in: Cam Little then made the 57-yard winner for a 19-17 final. The comeback followed two Jacksonville drives that reached the Eagles' 1-yard line and produced no points, plus two touchdowns of at least 50 yards.

  • The game began with a Jacksonville kickoff return touchdown erased by offsetting penalties. Philadelphia linebacker Jeremiah Trotter and Jacksonville defensive end Bryan Thomas were ejected after a fight on the same sequence.

Between the lines: Jacksonville also lost long snapper Ross Matiscik in the first quarter. Defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton handled snaps, including one that contributed to a missed extra point after the Jaguars' go-ahead touchdown.

Why it matters: The record London crowd gave the NFL another proof point for overseas demand. On the field, the result turned a likely loss into a 4-1 start and deepened an injury-hit Philadelphia slide to three losses in five games.
