With 9:25 left in the third quarter, the Jacksonville Jaguars had a total of 36 yards of offense and zero points. Jacksonville was there at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday—and that seemed about it.
For once, it looked like the Eagles were doing what they were supposed to do against one of the worst teams in the NFL, smack them around, and then pounce on them.
But something happened on the way to the pouncing. The Jaguars gained new life, and the resuscitation may have come from Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni. He made dubious, possible game-losing decisions, leaving nine vital points off the board making what should have been a blowout into a nervous sweat 28-23 victory.
