Caitlin Clark didn’t just watch the Jacksonville Jaguars pull off one of the wildest finishes of Week 5, she shouted about it from the digital rooftops. The Indiana Fever star, with her WNBA season now over, apparently had her television tuned in for the early Sunday NFL action from London, and what she saw was pure chaos that she called “an insane win for the Jags” on X.
The Eagles Thought They Had It Locked Up
Picture this: eight seconds left on the clock. The Philadelphia Eagles had just snatched a 19-17 lead after Jake Elliott nailed a field goal. Jacksonville had zero timeouts, and honestly, it looked like they were toast. Finished. Done. But Ameer Abdullah had other plans. He ripped off a massive 53-yard kickoff return, somehow getting the Jaguars all the way to the Philadelphia 39-yard line. Then, things got even weirder. Officials put one second back on the clock after it initially seemed to have expired. One. Second. Left.
DaVon Hamilton’s High Snaps, Cam Little’s Heroics
That single second gave Jacksonville one last, desperate shot. Enter Cam Little for a 57-yard field goal attempt. This wasn’t just any kick, either. The Jaguars’ usual long snapper was out, so defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton was filling in. Hamilton had already delivered three high snaps on Little’s earlier kicks, and this one was no different. It flew high, but somehow, the holder managed to bring it down in time. Little connected, the kick was good, and Jacksonville walked away with a ridiculous 19-17 victory. It was the kind of finish that makes you throw your remote in the air, whether in joy or disbelief.
For the Jaguars, this dramatic win moved them to a solid 4-1 record after five games, ensuring they’d be leading the AFC South no matter what else happened on Sunday. And for Caitlin Clark, it was just another reminder of her wide-ranging sports interests, having previously played golf at the ANNIKA pro-am and even showed off her commentary skills reacting to an MLB game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers. Now, Jacksonville has to build on this wild momentum and prove that kind of dramatic win isn’t just a fluke. They are 4-1 for a reason and you know they’ll want to keep that going.
