A late-game camera shot after the Jaguars’ 19-17 win over the Eagles in London has become the latest flashpoint for ESPN.
The game ended on Cam Little’s 57-yard field goal as time expired, a kick that sent Jacksonville into celebration and left Philadelphia stunned after Jake Elliott had nudged the Eagles in front 17-16 with eight seconds left. The result came in the second NFL London Game of 2026, and the broadcast’s final moments shifted from the field to the crowd.
That’s where the criticism started.
After ESPN showed Little celebrating with teammates and Trevor Lawrence embracing the team’s mascot, the feed cut to a young Eagles fan in a green jersey being held by an adult while crying in the stands. NFL aggregator Dov Kleiman said fans were blasting the cameraman for making that choice, though plenty of others pushed back.
“Give the cameraman a raise! This is what sports are all about,” one user posted.
“How f***ing lame and weak are Eagles fans if they calling for someone to be fired because he caught a kid crying after the Eagles sucked,” another replied.
“Suspend him for a game…no need to cost him his livelihood,” a third proposed.
“Cant spell ESPN without backlash,” a fourth said.
“Nah show the part where that kid was jumping all happy and excited. Good! Cry mf,” another wrote.
“Making that kid an obnoxious Eagles fan is child abuse. His parent should be punished!” a sixth added.
The reaction fits a familiar pattern around NFL broadcasts, where fan shots after big moments can travel fast and spark immediate debate. Similar camera choices have stirred up frustration before, and ESPN has not addressed this one at the time of writing.
For the Eagles, it was another brutal ending after a lead slipped away late. For the Jaguars, it was a road win sealed by a booming kick and a scene that quickly escaped the stadium and took over online.

Jaguars Suddenly Face A Trevor Lawrence Problem They Can't Ignore
Anton Harrisons exit in Week 5 quickly became one of the most important developments of the Jaguars day, because the left tackles injury carries obvious ripple effects for an offense built around Trevor Lawrence. Harrison was carted off the field and did not return, leaving Jacksonville waiting on MRI results while Liam Coen addressed both the uncertainty around the tackle and the way the team will handle the position if it has to move forward without him.
The Jaguars do have options if Harrison is sidelined, with Walker Little, Wyatt Milum, Daniel Faalele and Patrick Mekari all mentioned as possible depth answers at offensive tackle. Even so, this is the kind of injury that can test how much protection Lawrence really has up front, and it puts a premium on how quickly Jacksonville can settle the left side while the diagnosis plays out.

Jaguars Snap Counts Hint At One Offensive Shift Fans Need To See
The Jaguars Week 5 snap counts offered a clearer look at how the offense is adapting to injuries, and the most notable change came in the backfield. Bhayshul Tuten logged a career-high workload and handled the most carries, a sign hes starting to settle in as the lead running back, while Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw his role shrink as the game plan leaned harder into Tutens burst and volume.
There were encouraging developments elsewhere, too, as rookie skill players Josh Cameron and Nate Boerkircher were both more involved and made the most of it in receiving yards and snaps. For an offense trying to piece together production on the fly, those growing roles matter, and they raise the obvious question of whether this usage is a short-term fix or the start of a more permanent shift.

Jaguars Fans Can Finally Laugh At Brenton Strange After That Escape
The Jaguars London trip had a bizarre early-season moment for Brenton Strange, who found himself at the center of a highlight Jaguars fans will probably revisit with a mix of disbelief and amusement. In the middle of the game against the Eagles, the tight end had a live fumble slip away while he was preoccupied with tracking down his dropped mouthguard, a small detail that turned into a very big miss in the moment.
Jacksonville, though, left England with the kind of finish that makes the odd stuff easier to shrug off. Ameer Abdullahs kickoff return helped set up Cam Little for a game-winning 57-yard field goal, and the 19-17 victory gave the Jaguars a result sturdy enough to turn Stranges awkward sequence into little more than a footnote.
