Jaguars' Cam Little redeems himself in shocking win over Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little made the most of his mulligan.

The Jaguars faced the Philadelphia Eagles in London on Sunday in a tight contest. After almost blowing it for Jacksonville, Little redeemed himself with one of the clutchest kicks of his three-year career.

How Cam Little almost blew it for the Jaguars

Wide receiver Parker Washington caught a 27-yard touchdown pass to give the Jaguars a 16-14 lead with 3:20 remaining in the fourth quarter. The usually reliable Little, however, missed the extra-point attempt. Philadelphia then capitalized on his blunder.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts engineered a nine-play, 32-yard drive. That set up a 48-yard field goal by Eagles kicker Jake Elliott, giving Philadelphia a 17-16 lead with eight seconds left.

After that, it appeared the game was over. But instead of kicking it deep for a touchback, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni booted it to Jaguars running back Ameer Abdullah — a big mistake.

Abdullah returned it 53 yards to the Philadelphia 39-yard line and was tackled with one second left. The Jaguars then sent Little out; he didn't botch the field-goal attempt. The kicker drilled a 57-yarder to secure a 19-17 win for the Jaguars.

Little's teammates hoisted him on their shoulders afterward. Ironic, considering he was nearly Jacksonville's scapegoat.

But welcome to the NFL, where a player can flip his narrative in seconds. The Jaguars have done that after their win over the Eagles. Instead of being 3-2, Jacksonville is now 4-1 and remains one of the hottest teams in the AFC. Philadelphia, meanwhile, is 2-3.
