01 / Why this game matters
Jacksonville arrives at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 3-1 after producing 323 yards in a win, while 2-2 Philadelphia is trying to rebound from a 172-yard performance in a loss. The immediate question is whether the Jaguars can sustain their efficient attack or the Eagles can find more consistent offense around .
02 / Know these people
Jalen Hurts / Philadelphia's primary passer and a rushing option
Philadelphia Eagles · Quarterback (QB)
Hurts threw two touchdowns without an interception in Week 4, but he completed only 12 of 27 passes for 93 yards. More routine completions would give the Eagles a steadier way to sustain drives.
Darius Cooper / Recent red-zone finisher
Philadelphia Eagles · Wide Receiver (WR)
Cooper converted two of his seven targets into touchdowns against the Rams. His involvement near the goal line is worth tracking after he accounted for all of Philadelphia's offensive touchdowns.
03 / Watch for this
Track the first several rushing series and which back remains involved on important downs. Tank Bigsby had 14 carries last week, Will Shipley had six and Saquon Barkley had only two, so the early rotation should reveal how Philadelphia intends to divide the work in this game.
04 / Sound smart
Neither offense committed a turnover in Week 4, but Jacksonville turned its possessions into 323 yards while Philadelphia finished with 172.

A read on both sides
Eagles
Team vibe
Philadelphia enters at 2-2 after a 24-20 loss to the Rams. Its Week 4 scoring came from two Hurts-to-Cooper touchdowns and eight points from Jake Elliott, but the offense otherwise had limited production. The backfield usage was unusual: Bigsby and Shipley combined for 20 carries while Barkley received two.
Jaguars
Team vibe
Jacksonville is 3-1 following a 22-17 victory over Cincinnati. Lawrence completed 78 percent of his passes, emerged as the leading receiver, and and Rodriguez combined for 108 rushing yards and a touchdown. The defense also generated pressure from several spots, including sacks by Arik Armstead and Danny Striggow.
Current storylines
Teach Me What to Notice
On screen
Look for: Watch the space around immediately after the snap, especially whether Jaguars edge defenders reach the backfield before his receivers finish their routes.
If you see it: If repeatedly moves off his spot, throws quickly under contact or abandons the pass to scramble, Jacksonville's rush is affecting the play even when it does not record a sack.
Here's what it means: The Jaguars are dictating the timing of Philadelphia's passing game and reducing ' chances to find better options downfield.
On screen
Look for: Before the snap, identify the defender lined up across from and whether a second defender moves toward him as he releases into his route.
If you see it: If repeatedly catches the ball with room to turn upfield, Jacksonville has found a dependable route that Philadelphia has not taken away.
Here's what it means: has an accessible target for extending drives, which can keep the Jaguars out of difficult third-down situations.
On screen
Look for: On punts and kickoffs, note where the returner fields the ball and where the offense begins its next possession.
If you see it: If either team regularly starts beyond the area where the kick was caught rather than being stopped immediately, the offense is receiving a meaningful field-position boost.
Here's what it means: Shorter fields reduce how much an offense must produce to reach scoring range, a particularly useful advantage if Philadelphia again struggles to accumulate yardage.

Players & Coaches
Jacksonville Jaguars · Tight End (TE)
Strange led Jacksonville's Week 4 receivers with seven catches and 95 yards. If Philadelphia cannot limit his easy access into routes, has a reliable option for keeping drives alive.
Players & Coaches
Jacksonville Jaguars · Running Back (RB)
Tuten handled 17 carries for 73 yards and caught both of his targets for another 18 yards last week. That workload makes him the clearest indicator of whether Jacksonville can stay productive on the ground.
Players & Coaches
Jacksonville Jaguars · Defensive End (DE)
Hines-Allen registered three quarterback hits in Week 4. Even without a sack, repeated contact could make ' already difficult passing rhythm harder to repair.
The Stakes
This London matchup tests whether Jacksonville's productive, turnover-free Week 4 offense can travel into another game and whether Philadelphia can answer its lowest-output issue from the Rams loss without relying solely on isolated scoring plays.
Why it matters
The Jaguars combined accurate quarterback play with useful contributions from their tight end and running backs against Cincinnati. Repeating that distribution against Philadelphia would show that the offense can function through several options rather than one standout performance.
Why it matters
avoided interceptions and threw two scores last week, but the Eagles still produced only 172 yards. This game can reveal whether Philadelphia has found a more repeatable way to create completions and move the chains.
