Jacksonville’s 90-yard kickoff return touchdown was wiped out by penalties as a midfield scrum led to two ejections before the first offensive snap A 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown nullified and two players ejected. It was quite a start to the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jaguars rookie Josh Cameron returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a would-be touchdown, but it 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, two players were ejected: Jacksonville’s Bryan Thomas Jr and Philadelphia’s Jeremiah Trotter Jr. And then the teams did the kickoff all over again.
