POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was ejected during Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, marking a striking 21-year anniversary of his father being thrown out of an NFL game.

The incident occurred at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following the opening kickoff when a scrum at midfield led to the ejection of both Trotter and Jaguars player Bryan Thomas Jr. This event echoed a similar moment in 2005 when Jeremiah Trotter, the elder, was tossed from a game after a pre-game scuffle with Atlanta.

The game saw a dramatic play as Jacksonville rookie Josh Cameron returned the kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, which was later nullified due to offsetting penalties. The Eagles ultimately lost the game 19-17, with Cam Little kicking a 57-yard field goal as time expired.
