Cam Little didn’t just help the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He made sure Eagles fans heard about it afterward.
The Jaguars walked out of Philadelphia with a 19-17 win, stealing it at the end with a last-second field goal after the Eagles had grabbed the lead with fewer than 10 seconds left. It was a brutal finish for Philadelphia and a massive road victory for Jacksonville, one of the biggest wins of the season.
After the kick, Little jumped on social media and taunted Eagles fans in the aftermath of the game-winner.
The loss hit hard enough that Eagles coach Nick Sirianni owned it himself after the game. He said he was responsible for the defeat and pointed directly to his decision-making at the end.
“You know, the guys fought so hard, and then I don’t make the decision that, you know, that I should make at the end of the game, and I cost us that game, and I put that fully on me,” Sirianni told reporters postgame. “At the end of the day, I didn’t make the right decision and it cost us the game.
You know, and so there’s no other way around it. There’s nothing really else to say about that.
It’s just, you know, I didn’t do my job good enough in that situation.”
Sirianni also compared the feeling to a painful late miss or a costly mistake in another sport.
“It’s just like you would feel if you missed a free throw at the end of the game, or if you had a drop,” Sirianni said. “I’ve been in both of those places.
And those ones stick with you, and that will stick with me for a long time. All I know is that I’ll work my butt off to get better from it.
But, yeah, that one will hurt for a long time. I still think about those other things that have, I’ve lost games for us in the past as far as, you know, when I played.”

The closing seconds of the Jaguars win over the Eagles in London should have been remembered for the walk-off field goal, but the broadcast moment that stuck with plenty of viewers came a little later. As the game wrapped up, an ESPN cameraman centered the shot on a young Eagles fan in tears, turning a postgame reaction into the kind of TV image that immediately took on a life of its own online.
Social media split quickly over the decision, with some fans criticizing the network for lingering on the child and others arguing it was simply part of live sports coverage. ESPN has not commented on the incident, leaving the debate to keep simmering long after Jacksonvilles victory was secure. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Loss Got Overshadowed By A Broadcast Mess Fans Hated
The Jaguars trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ended with one of their cleanest overseas finishes in years, a 19-17 win over the Eagles sealed by Cam Littles last-second 57-yard field goal. For Jacksonville, it was the kind of international showcase the franchise can point to with real pride, a tense game decided late and a road-style atmosphere that gave the victory some extra weight.
Still, a lot of the conversation afterward had little to do with the final score. The NFL Network broadcast drew heavy criticism for technical problems throughout the game, with viewers flagging missed replays, audio issues and even a stadium sound blackout that made the telecast feel broken at times. For Jaguars fans and anyone tuning in to watch a statement win, the on-field finish was memorable enough, but the viewing experience left plenty of people frustrated. [Read more 🡒]
Brian Thomas Jr Trade Buzz Raises A Jaguars Question
The trade deadline tends to turn every productive wideout into a rumor, and Brian Thomas Jr. has already found himself in that conversation. With the Raiders looking for ways to help young quarterback Fernando Mendoza after a disappointing loss to the Patriots, some fans have floated the Jaguars receiver as a possible target, the kind of move that would make sense on paper for a team searching for more firepower.
For Jacksonville, though, the chatter appears to stop there. Reports indicate the Jaguars do not plan to trade Thomas, which keeps the focus on what he means to their own offense rather than on any deadline speculation. For a team trying to build around young talent, that stance says plenty about how it views his place in the future, even if the rest of the league keeps asking the question. [Read more 🡒]
