5 biggest Jaguars winners & 4 losers from nerve-racking win vs. Eagles in London

If you were infuriated watching the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Philadelphia Eagles, you weren't alone. Despite the fact that Philly was without some of their key players, the Jags couldn't capitalize on that edge for most of the game.

Penalties hurt Jacksonville, and the Eagles refused to go down. In fact, it looked like they were going to win once kicker Jake Elliot nailed a 48-yard field goal to put Philadelphia up 17-16 with eight seconds left in the fourth quarter. However, running back Ameer Abdullah didn't throw in the towel and had a 52-yard return that put Cam Little within field goal range with 0:01 left on the clock.

Little proceeded to nail a 52-yard field goal to put the Jaguars on top. It wasn't ugly, but the Jaguars saw their players come through when it mattered the most, and with this in mind, here are five winners and four losers from the not -pretty but gritty 19-16 win.

Winner: Cam Little, kicker

Kickers are people too and deserve praise when they come up clutch. Cam Little certainly did when the Jags needed him the most, nailing the walk-off field goal to put the Jaguars on top.

What makes his kick even more impressive is that long-snapper Ross Matiscik left the game. It didn't matter, as Little made his kick with DaVon Hamilton snapping the ball.

It's also worth noting that Little missed an extra point, which is why the Jags were 17-16 late in the game. Still, he made up for it with his last-minute field goal.

Loser: Ezra Cleveland, left guard

The Jaguars couldn't do much with their first offensive possession. They had a delay of game penalty, and rookie Emmanuel Pregnon was flagged for holding. However, the worst play in Jacksonville's first drive was a sack Ezra Cleveland gave up that ended with Jalen Carter bringing Trevor Lawrence down.

The silver lining is that the Jags recovered, but the fumble most definitely stalled the drive.

Winner: Ameer Abdullah, running back

With just eight seconds left in the game, it looked like the Jags were going to lose as they were trailing 17-16. However, Ameer Abdullah had a huge 53-yard return to put Cam Little within field-goal range.

Before that play, Abdullah hadn't touched the football, but he made the most of his once chance when it mattered the most.

Loser: Montaric Brown, cornerback

The Jaguars gave Montaric Brown a three-year, $31.8 million deal in the offseason but have yet to see a return on their investment. Brown has given up a few big plays this season and allowed yet another one against the Eagles.

This time, the former Arkansas Razorback was covering Eagles receiver Darius Cooper but couldn't keep up with him, giving up a 62-yard touchdown to put the Eagles ahead 14-7 in the first half.

Winner: Parker Washington, wide receiver

Parker Washington was relatively quiet against the Cincinnati Bengals, registering just one catch for seven yards. However, he was his usual productive self against the Eagles, reeling in six catches for 124 yards with two touchdowns.

On a day in which the Jaguars struggled as a team, Washington was their best player. Without a doubt, his strong outing will most definitely boost his stock in a year in which he's looking to get paid.

Loser: Cole Van Lanen, right tackle

The Jacksonville offensive line had trouble containing Jalen Carter. After forcing a fumble in the first quarter, the Eagles defender once again sacked Trevor Lawrence. This time, though, the culprit was Cole Van Lanen.

Carter managed to get around Van Lanen on the edge to take Lawrence down, ending another drive prematurely.

Winner: DaVon Hamiton, defensive tackle

Although DaVon Hamilton didn't pop off the stat sheet, he certainly stood out because he filled in for injured long-snapper Ross Matiscik, who left the game and didn't return. The veteran defensive tackle delivered several good snaps, so he deserves two thumbs up for stepping up in relief of Matiscik.

Hamilton's best snap of the game might have been the last one when Cam Little kicked the game-winning field goal.

Loser: Brian Thomas Jr., wide receiver

The Jaguars have supported Brian Thomas Jr. throughout his struggles. He took a step in the right direction in Week 4 but took several steps back against Philadelphia.

Thomas had a drop early in the game. Not surprisingly, he didn't see the ball his way for most of the game. Still, No. 7 got another chance late in the game when Jacksonville reached the Eagles' red zone.

Lawrence targeted Thomas in the end zone. Thomas caught the ball but couldn't get both feet on the ground, effectively turning the play into an incompletion.

Winner: Trevor Larwence, quarterback

In spite of penalties and subpar protection, Trevor Lawrence came through for the Jaguars. He did throw an interception but otherwise had a strong day, going 24-of-39 for 331 yards with two touchdowns.

Days like this will help solidify Lawrence's place as a top-10 quarterback. Then again, if the Jags had lost, his performance would have been overshadowed.

Good thing for the Jaguars and No. 16 that Cam Little saved the day.
