The Jacksonville Jaguars return to London for their 15th and 16th regular-season games in England since 2013, part of the NFL's record nine international matchups in 2026. Jags punter Logan Cooke will play in an NFL-record 10th international game, surpassing Tyler Shatley. This Jaguars team feels different from past London squads, which often lacked Super Bowl contention.
Led by MVP candidate Trevor Lawrence and head coach Liam Coen, Jacksonville arrives as an expertly-drilled reflection of their coach’s vision, not a star-studded roster but a cohesive unit built for contention. The Jags are 3-1 and atop the AFC South, coming off back-to-back wins over the Patriots and Bengals after a loss to the Broncos. They face an injury-ravaged Philadelphia Eagles squad missing Saquon Barkley (hamstring), De Vonta Smith (hamstring), and recently retired Lane Johnson.
Additional absences include Cam Jurgens (traded), Hollywood Brown, Jonathan Greenard, and Jihaad Campbell. The Eagles’ offense struggles under new coordinator Sean Mannion after replacing Kevin Patullo. The last Eagles-Jaguars meeting featured Barkley’s iconic reverse hurdle over Jarrian Jones in November 2024, to which Jones responded, 'I don't give a damn.
He made a good play. It is what it is.'.
