What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles surrendered a kickoff return for a touchdown that was ultimately negated to open their London game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The chaotic start escalated immediately, resulting in a fight at midfield on the very first play.

Why it matters: The immediate tension follows a tumultuous week for the 2-5 Eagles, having recently lost Lane Johnson to retirement while also trading Jurgens. The team entered the matchup looking to stabilize their season but instead engaged in an immediate altercation.

By the numbers: Philadelphia arrived in London on a two-game losing streak, averaging just 16.6 points while allowing 24.4 per contest. Jacksonville entered the game at 5-2 on a two-game winning streak.

What to watch: The Eagles must reset their composure to navigate the remainder of the scheduled game.
