Two ejections on opening kickoff of Eagles-Jaguars game in London
LONDON (AP) — A 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown nullified and two players ejected.
It was quite a start to the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Jaguars rookie Josh Cameron returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a would-be touchdown, but it was called back because of offsetting penalties including a hold by Jacksonville’s Branson Combs.
Meanwhile, there was a scrum at midfield, with pushing and shoving on both sides.
When the dust settled, two players were ejected: Jacksonville’s Bryan Thomas Jr. and Philadelphia’s Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
And then the teams did the kickoff all over again.
