Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni responded to comments from quarterback Jalen Hurts following the team's 19-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. After Hurts noted that managing the clock on the final drive was not his responsibility and that he executes the plays called, Sirianni stated that coaches call plays while Hurts is solely expected to execute them, reiterating fixed roles.

The late-game sequence saw the Eagles take a late 17-16 lead before a 53-yard kickoff return set up Cam Little's game-winning field goal for Jacksonville.
