LONDON – Senior writer John Oehser examines five key storylines from the Jaguars’ 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in a 2026 Week 5 game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, United Kingdom, Sunday
1.D-Ham … the man. DaVon Hamilton doesn’t practice long-snapping much, and he’s in no hurry to do it for real again any time soon. But he snapped well enough under pressure Sunday to be a major storyline in one of the Jaguars’ most memorable victories in recent memory. “You can’t make it up,” quarterback Trevor Lawrence said of Hamilton’s role Sunday. “It’s crazy.” Hamilton, one of the NFL’s best nose tackles, long-snapped Sunday after All-Pro long snapper Ross Matiscik sustained a first-quarter shoulder injury. “Whatever I can do, do it to help our team,” Hamilton said. Hamilton snapped eight times Sunday, including on kicker Cam Little‘s 57-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. “I wasn’t that nervous for that one,” Hamilton said. “It just is what it is, got to do a job, get it done. Head Coach Liam Coen said Hamilton, who also snapped for Matiscik in a road victory over the Tennessee Titans last season, practices long snapping “a few snaps a week, maybe” – doing so mostly in walkthrough situations. “It’s not in a live setting,” Coen said, adding of Hamilton, “We trust him to do it.” Said Hamilton, “Hopefully, I don’t have to do it next week and we can move on. But it was fun.”
