{"id":428,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/428","headline":"Sirianni owns blown kickoff call in Eagles' London loss","dek":"Philadelphia led 17-16 with eight seconds left before a routine kickoff set up Cam Little's game-winning 57-yard field goal for Jacksonville.","body":"The Eagles had this one won. Up 17-16 with just eight seconds on the clock, Philadelphia kicked off to the Jaguars instead of squibbing it into the end zone, and Jacksonville's Ameer Abdullah returned it to the Eagles' 39-yard line. One play later, Cam Little drilled a 57-yard field goal as time expired, and the Jaguars walked away with a 19-17 win.\n\nNick Sirianni did not hide from it afterward. \"Our guys fought their butts off today,\" he said. \"Defense had an outstanding game. Special teams did a nice job kicking there. I didn't make the right decision and I lost us that game.\" He later admitted he knew he shouldn't have trusted his kick-coverage unit to make the stop, a unit that had already allowed a 90-yard kickoff return touchdown earlier in the game, though that one was wiped out by offsetting penalties.\n\nThe decision reportedly did not sit well on the Eagles sideline. Videos circulated showing general manager Howie Roseman and kicker Jake Elliott visibly upset as the sequence unfolded. The loss leaves the Giants as the only team above .500 in the NFC East.","published_at":"2026-10-12T17:03:19.018988+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Nick Sirianni's mistake was confirmed by his kick-coverage unit","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nick-siriannis-mistake-was-confirmed-by-his-kick-coverage-unit"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles GM Howie Roseman has furious sideline outburst over Nick Sirianni’s incompetence","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-gm-howie-roseman-furious-152813665.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Nick Sirianni Takes Blame For Eagles Loss After Late-Game Blunder vs. Jaguars","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nick-sirianni-owns-costly-late-game-blunder-eagles-loss-i-lost-us-game"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Eagles' Sirianni laments late-game call vs. Jags: 'I lost us that game'","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50159690/sirianni-call-leads-dramatic-winning-kick-jaguars-little"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Nick Sirianni takes blame for costly Eagles decision in crushing loss to Jaguars: ‘I lost us that game’","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/11/sports/nick-sirianni-takes-blame-for-costly-eagles-decision-in-loss-to-jaguars/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘A Disaster,’ ‘An Absolute Joke’ — Outrage Erupts After Controversial Decision-Making From Refs in Eagles-Jaguars Game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/disaster-absolute-joke-outrage-erupts-170314380.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"5 takeaways from Eagles’ 19-17 loss to Jaguars in London","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/5-takeaways-eagles-19-17-174932991.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Nick Sirianni takes blame for kickoff decision in Eagles’ loss","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nick-sirianni-takes-blame-kickoff-180545541.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘I lost us that game’: Nick Sirianni owns up to brutal kicking decision that cost Eagles win","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/lost-us-game-nick-sirianni-181506973.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Nick Sirianni takes blame for Eagles' collapse: 'I cost us that game'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nick-sirianni-takes-blame-eagles-183306670.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Nick Sirianni takes blame for Eagles' kickoff strategy in final minute: 'I cost us that game'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/nick-sirianni-takes-blame-for-eagles-kickoff-strategy-in-final-minute-i-cost-us-that-game-184134277.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"'I lost us that game': The Eagles botched a game they had to win.
