Eagles Face Jaguars in NFL London Game with Key Injuries

The NFL returns to London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for an early Sunday matchup featuring the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. This Week 5 game is set to kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET, with the Jaguars entering as 6.5-point favorites.

Jacksonville, currently leading the AFC South with a 3-1 record, aims to build on their recent success under coach Liam Coen and quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars have averaged 26 points per game, supported by a strong defense that has recorded six takeaways and 10 sacks this season. In contrast, the Eagles, with a 2-2 record, are struggling offensively, averaging just 18.8 points per game and facing potential absences of key players, including top receiver DeVonta Smith and star running back Saquon Barkley.

Philadelphia's recent performances have been disappointing, with quarterback Jalen Hurts managing only 246 passing yards over the last two games. The Eagles' defense has also faced challenges, ranking 21st in yards allowed. The Jaguars, familiar with playing in London, have a balanced approach and will look to capitalize on the Eagles' current struggles.
