Nick Sirianni’s kickoff decision against the Jaguars wasn’t as dumb as it looked. Here’s why

Let's start with what we know for certain: the Philadelphia Eagles lost their London game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday when Jacksonville kicked a zero-time-remaining field goal . The Jaguars had that opportunity because with eight seconds remaining in the game and leading by 1, Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni, in defiance of prevailing conventional wisdom, opted to kick the ball off to Jacksonville's Ameer Abdullah rather than booting it out of bounds. Abdullah caught the kick and returned it 53 yards to the Philadelphia 39.
