The Eagles absolutely squared things up this morning over in London, with Will Shipley barreling into the end zone for a two-yard touchdown run, bringing them even with the Jaguars at 7-7.

The Flag That Changed the Drive

Talk about a turn of events, right? Philly was initially looking at third down after an incompletion, facing a likely field goal attempt to get on the board. But Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter got himself flagged for pass interference, giving the Eagles a fresh set of downs at first-and-goal. That’s the break you need, and Shipley made ’em pay with that two-yard score.

Injury Report From Across the Pond

Over on the Jaguars’ side, things got a little wild too, but not in a good way. Their long snapper, Ross Matiscik, went down with a shoulder injury on his very first snap of the game. Yikes. Defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton had to step in, and talk about pressure: his first snap was an extra point attempt. It was high, yeah, but punter Logan Cooke snagged it and set it well enough for Cam Little to make the kick. Hamilton’s second snap, a punt, was apparently perfect, so at least there’s that.
