DaVon Hamilton’s versatility helped Jaguars avoid disaster in London

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton stepped in as emergency long snapper during a 19-17 win against the Philadelphia Eagles in London. Hamilton took over the snapping duties after primary long snapper Ross Matiscik suffered a first-quarter injury. Hamilton successfully snapped the ball on the game-winning 57-yard field goal as time expired, aided by holder Logan Cooke.

Writer Dallas Glenn argues that Jacksonville's front office committed an oversight by not carrying a more suitable emergency option at tight end or linebacker. Following the contest, head coach Liam Coen confirmed that the Jaguars plan to bring in a new specialist rather than keeping Hamilton as the long snapper.
