4 Jaguars whose stock is soaring after ugly win vs. Eagles: Special teams edition

The Jacksonville Jaguars managed to overcome their self-inflicted wounds to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Whether it was questionable playcalling or penalties, the Jags couldn't get out of their own way throughout most of the London game. But it didn't matter. They got several clutch performances to ultimately win 19-17.

The Jacksonville special teams, in particular, stood out in the not-pretty but gritty win. Cam Little's walk-off field goal got the most attention, but he was far from the only specialist who came up clutch.

With this in mind, here are four Jaguars special teamers who are seeing their stock skyrocket after beating Philadelphia.

4 Jaguars special teamers who are watching their stock soar after win vs. Eagles

DaVon Hamilton, emergency long snapper

DaVon Hamilton is known as the heart and soul of a Jacksonville defense that excels at stuffing the run. But against the Eagles, Ham got the spotlight for showcasing a skill of his that he rarely uses in the NFL.

With long snapper Ross Matiscik leaving the game with a shoulder injury, Hamilton was the fill-in long snapper. While some of his snaps were a bit high, he performed to the best of his capabilities.

This is especially impressive when you take into account that emergency long snappers barely get any practice reps. But despite his lack of practice, Hamilton was able to hold the fort and play a role in the win over Philadelphia.

Logan Cooke, punter/holder

Logan Cooke is one of the best punters in the league and one of the longest-tenured players on the Jaguars roster. However, it isn't often discussed just how much of a difference he makes as the holder on field-goal attempts.

Although his performance wasn't nearly as evident as DaVon Hamilton's, Cooke most definitely came through for the Jags.

Some of Hamilton's long snaps were far from great. Nevertheless, Cooke was able to adjust the football to ensure Little had a chance to nail his kicks.

Cam Little, kicker

Both the Jaguars' offense and their defense came through against the Eagles, but their special teams also played a huge role in the Week 5 win. Aside from DaVon Hamilton and Logan Cooke doing their best to overcome Ross Matiscik's absence, Cam Little was money with the game on the line.

Sure, Little missed one of his extra point attempts, but that was due to not getting an ideal snap. Anyway, he nailed his two field goals, and the one that won the game most definitely deserves plenty of praise.

The Eagles were 17-16 after Jake Elliot's field goal. There were only 12 seconds left afterwards, but that was more than enough for Little to work his magic.

With 0:01 left, Little nailed the game-winner to put the Jaguars on top.

Ameer Abdullah, running back

Cam Little is deservedly getting his flowers for his game-winning field goal, but he wouldn't have pulled it off if Ameer Abdullah hadn't put him in a position to kick it.

Once Jake Elliot made it 19-17, the Eagles had a 97 percent chance of winning. But Abdullah was having none of it and returned a kickoff 53 yards to put Little in position to win the game.

Abdullah didn't get a single carried, and only touched the ball three times. Nevertheless, he made them count and stepped up when it mattered the most.
