Match preview for Eagles vs Jaguars NFL game at Wembley

The Philadelphia Eagles delivered when it mattered to down the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium to keep themselves well and truly in the NFC playoff race.

Carson Wentz's fourth quarter touchdown throw to tight end Zach Ertz proved decisive as the world champions outlasted the hometown Jags 24-18 in front of a capacity crowd in London.

They move to 4-4 to keep themselves in the hunt in the NFC East. Conversely Jacksonville, who fall to 3-5, see their hopes of returning to the sharp end in the AFC take another hit with this defeat a fourth in a row.

Jaguars 18-24 Eagles

Jacksonville at midfield now as they look to get the seven they need to take the lead here at Wembley.

Philly bring pressure again and it's that man Cox who sticks a big mitt up and bat down a pass on third down.

4th and 2 but Bortles' pass is incomplete and the Eagles will takeover on downs with less than four minutes to go.

Was that the play that won the game?

Jaguars 18-24 Eagles

The Eagles will be looking to chew the hell out of the clock here. Jags instinctively play the run but Wentz keeps it on a run-pass option and fires to Matthews for a big first down.

Smallwood, who we haven't seen for quite a while here, gets it and rumbles up for a yard, maybe two.

The Jags, now out of timeouts, know they need to find a stop here.

Smallwood again and that could be huge. A barrelling run downhill sees him through two would be tacklers and that's another first as we hit the two-minute warning.

Philly on the verge of taking this one.

Final: Jaguars 18-24 Eagles

Wentz takes a knee and this one is over as the Eagles move to 4-4. 

The Jaguars fall to 3-5 and with the Texans on the charge in the AFC South their hopes of making the playoffs look bleak.

For the world champions they still look like the team to beat in the NFC East and will return after the bye confident of playing January football again.

Another week, another very watchable NFL game at Wembley Stadium.

This wasn't an offensive classic but it was high on drama with Carson Wentz's fourth quarter touchdown throw to Zach Ertz proving decisive as the Eagles outlasted the slumping Jaguars.

Both leave London with much to prove but Philadelphia will be much the happier as they continue to keep themselves in the hunt in the NFC playoff race.
