Eagles coach admits kickoff call cost loss to Jaguars in London

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said his decision to kick the ball to the Jaguars' 57-yard line on the final play was a mistake, explaining that he lacked confidence in his coverage unit. The Jaguars won 19-17 after Cam Little converted a 57-yard field goal as time expired in the NFL International Series in London. Sirianni had earlier taken responsibility for the kickoff call that set up the field goal, and the Eagles had briefly held an eight-second lead before the clock mismanagement allowed Jacksonville to score the winning points.
