The first NFL game in London this season started with fireworks – or whatever the British version of those are.
A fight broke out following the opening kickoff between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles, and the Jags' touchdown return was nullified by offsetting penalties.
Jaguars wideout Josh Cameron zoomed 90 yards to the end zone after catching the opening kickoff, but penalty flags had already been thrown by the time he reached the goal line. Holding on the Jaguars and an illegal formation by the Eagles meant their would be a re-kick.
Then a fight between Jaguars defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. and Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. broke out near midfield. Multiple officials lost their hats, having thrown their flag already
in the scrum. Five penalty flags were thrown in total. Both Thomas (a different player than Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.) and Trotter were ejected and sent to the locker room.

"So with all that going on, we just starting this whole thing over?" NFL Network broadcaster Kurt Warner joked once the ordeal ended.
The Eagles entered 2-2 while the Jaguars lead the AFC South at 3-1.
