Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington just ripped off a 51-yard touchdown catch-and-run in London, immediately putting Jacksonville up 7-0. The dude caught a short pass from Trevor Lawrence and absolutely torched the Eagles’ secondary for that huge score. What a way to start a game, right?

Washington’s Explosive Play Seals an Early Lead

Washington’s big-time run was the first legit explosive play of the day over in London, no flags bringing it back this time. He just exploded for that 51-yard touchdown to push the Jaguars into an early lead. Before that, though, two-way player Travis Hunter, who has played mostly defense this season, even chipped in with a nine-yard catch on second-and-7 to set up the sequence. The Jaguars’ offense was moving.

Eagles’ Play Call Stumps Everyone

The whole drive for the Jags kicked off after a seriously head-scratching moment from the Eagles. They got stopped cold on fourth-and-1, and you’re not gonna believe this: Jalen Hurts, their guy, was in shotgun, handing it off to running back Will Shipley! No tush push, no Hurts himself taking it. You gotta wonder what the coaching staff was thinking there. Now, the Eagles’ “much-maligned offense” is already in a hole, and they need to find some answers ASAP. That’s the story so far from London. The Jags are up, but the conversation is already shifting to the Eagles’ questionable decisions and their offense’s uphill climb.
