The Jacksonville Jaguars begin their two-week London tour this Sunday, as they will play the Philadelphia Eagles to kick off NFL Sunday in Week 5. The 3-1 Jags are coming off a victory in Cincinnati against Joe Burrow's Bengals, while the Eagles fell to 2-2 after blowing a 14-point lead to the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth quarter last Sunday.
It's been a rough week for the Eagles. Right tackle Lane Johnson decided to retire on Tuesday to focus on his mental health, and then Philly traded center/left guard Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. The Eagles will also be without running backs Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (core muscle) this week, as well as wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and starting center Drew Kendall (knee).
As for the Jaguars, they are rolling. Trevor Lawrence leads the NFL with 32 total touchdowns over the last 12 regular-season games, dating back to last year, while the defense has gone an incredible 21 straight games without allowing an individual 75-yard rusher. They allowed just 17 combined rushing yards to the Bengals running backs last week.

That's not the opening drive you want. Trevor Lawrence and Co. go backwards on the Jaguars' first possession of the game. After a fumble and a delay of game penalty, Jacksonville was faced with a second-and-40! They could not find a way to move the chains.
It's been a rough week for the Eagles. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is just their most recent loss. They are also without pass rusher Jonathan Greenard, RBs Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and starting center Drew Kendall. Right tackle Lane Johnson retired on Tuesday, and left guard/center Cam Jurgens was traded Wednesday.
What a start to this game! Josh Cameron returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, but offsetting penalties (illegal formation & holding) means we re-kick.
After the play, Jaguars defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. and Eagles rookie linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. were EJECTED for a scuffle after the play.
