A 90-yard Jaguars kickoff return TD was wiped out and two players were sent off after chaos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Nobody in London had settled into their seats before the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles turned Sunday's game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into a brawl. The opening kickoff set it off.
Jacksonville appeared to have grabbed an instant lead with a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The score didn't stand. It was nullified after a confrontation broke out at midfield, and the celebration was cut short.
Two players were ejected for their part in the scuffle, so both sides lost bodies before the game had properly started. With order restored, officials ordered the opening kickoff to be replayed, which wiped the slate clean.
The NFL's London showpiece was meant to open with a fast start, and it got a wild one. The question now is whether the tension carries through the rest of the game, and how both teams cope without the two players sent off.
