Eagles' best number: 14 (Eagles’ first-half points).

Eagles’ worst number: 0 (Second-half touchdowns for the third straight game).

View from my living room

I missed the end of the game while taking my grandson Hampton (10) to the Mike Trout Baseball Camp in Pitman. He had an amazing time.

Three stars

  1. Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (6 receptions for 124 yards and two touchdowns).
  2. Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (2 strip sacks and 3 tackles for loss).
  3. Jaguars place-kicker Cam Little (57-yard field goal for the win).

Eagles’ best play

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hit wide receiver Darius Cooper deep downfield for a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Eagles’ worst play

Jaguars kickoff returner Ameer Abdullah broke loose for a 53-yard return that set up Little’s game-winning field goal with one second left.

Turning point

The Eagles seemingly had the game won after Jake Elliott’s 48-yard field goal with eight seconds left game the Eagles a 17-16 lead. Instead of kicking the ball deep, however, coach Nick Sirianni called for a  short kick, setting the stage for Abdullah’s return.

Did you notice? Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. was ejected after getting into a fight with Jaguars linebacker Bryan Thomas during the opening kickoff. … Abdullah returned the kickoff for a TD, only to see it nullified by offsetting penalties. … Lane Johnson’s retirement and Cam Jurgens’ trade left the offensive line short-handed, then right guard Tyler Steen got hurt. … Parker Washington made a spectacular catch for a TD. … Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen, Jr. (Millville) made a TD-saving tackle on a punt return. … The Eagles defensive came up with two goal-line stands, including one at the end of the first half that ended with a great tackle by linebacker Zack Baun. … The Eagles (2-3) are below .500 for the first time since Week 13 of the 2021 season.
