Cam Little produced one of the most iconic moments in the history of NFL games played in London, kicking a 57-yard field goal with just one second remaining to secure a 19-17 comeback victory for the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The dramatic finish saw the Eagles take a 17-16 lead with eight seconds left on a 48-yard kick by Jake Elliott. However, a coaching decision not to take a touchback and a spectacular 53-yard kick return by Ameer Abdullah set the stage for Little’s clutch shot. The crowd erupted as Little celebrated with an arms-outstretched pose mimicking Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham, drawing comparisons to the British football icon.
Little, who grew up playing soccer before picking up American football at age 17, described the moment as the greatest of his career. Wearing a Manchester United shirt at his post-game press conference, he joked that the win served as a symbolic victory for his favorite English Premier League team following their recent disappointment against Spurs.
“It’s my first walk-off game winner in my entire career, where the clock has hit zero and we won the game,” Little said. “So to do it in this stadium is like I’ve achieved my goal of playing professional soccer even though I’m playing pro football. It’s so cool.”
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence called it one of the craziest games he has ever been part of. “Just how cool is this sport? The game’s never over,” Lawrence said.
The match was filled with chaos from the opening kickoff, which featured a 90-yard return touchdown that was nullified by offsetting penalties, resulting in the ejection of Jaguars’ Bryan Thomas Jr. and Eagles’ Jeremiah Trotter. Earlier, Parker Washington made a stunning one-handed 27-yard touchdown catch to give Jacksonville a 16-14 lead, though Little missed the subsequent extra point.
The victory marks Jacksonville’s third consecutive win under head coach Liam Coen, achieved in an atmosphere of intense hostility rarely seen at London NFL games. For the Eagles, it was a bitter defeat following the shock retirement of tackle Lane Johnson and the trade departure of center Cam Jurgens, a situation offensive tackle Jordan Mailata described as a “week from hell.”
League-wide, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward faced mounting pressure after a 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans, where he completed 23 of 36 passes for 170 yards with an interception and four sacks. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans continued his elite play at age 33, hauling in seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in a 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Evans has emerged as a primary target for 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy since joining San Francisco.
In other results, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Indianapolis Colts 34-22, with running back Jaylen Warren contributing 101 rushing yards and two scores. The Houston Texans dominated the Titans 26-3, powered by pass rusher Will Anderson Jr., who recorded three sacks. In a divisional rivalry clash, the Green Bay Packers routed the Chicago Bears 31-7, while the Los Angeles Chargers dropped to 0-5 after losing to the Denver Broncos.
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was named Player of the Weekend after throwing for 374 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-17 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Washington Commanders and New York Giants played to a goalless draw, marking only the second tie in NFL history.
Five minutes ago the Eagles were up 17-16. What a rollercoaster. Jacksonville stole one from the jaws of defeat.
Wait, the Commanders and Giants tied? That is wild. Second tie in NFL history really shows how weird this week was.
That Bellingham celebration was the perfect touch! Love seeing NFL players embrace British culture this much.
