A 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was nullified and two players were ejected. It was quite a start to the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jaguars rookie Josh Cameron returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a would-be touchdown that 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, Jacksonville’s Bryan Thomas Jr. and Philadelphia’s Jeremiah Trotter Jr. were ejected. And the teams did the kickoff all over again.
