STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Eagles have won last two meetings. … Philadelphia playing first game in London, leaving Carolina, Green Bay and Houston as only NFL teams yet to play across Atlantic. … Eagles lead NFL in time of possession, averaging more than 33 minutes. … QB Carson Wentz has thrown 173 consecutive passes without interception, team’s longest streak since Nick Foles went 237 attempts in 2012-13. … Wentz has gone five straight games completing at least 65 percent of passes. … WR Alshon Jeffery has 13 TDs receiving since 2017. He has 14 TDs in last 16 games, including playoffs. … TE Zach Ertz has at least five catches in nine straight games. He has three 100-yard games. … RB Wendell Smallwood has team-high 233 yards rushing. … DE Michael Bennett has two sacks and forced fumble in last two games. … CB Ronald Darby leads NFL with 12 pass breakups. … P Cameron Johnston leads NFL in net average, 49.7. … Jaguars playing sixth straight year in London. They have won last three at Wembley Stadium. … Jacksonville travels across pond with three-game losing streak. Last loss included QB Blake Bortles getting benched and postgame scuffle in locker room. Coach Doug Marrone sticking with Bortles for now. … Team held players-only meeting Monday in hopes of clearing air. … Bortles threw four TD passes last year in London, winning for third time in four career starts at Wembley. He has eight TD passes and one INT in last three outings there. … Bortles one of three NFL quarterbacks since 2014 with at least 15,000 yards passing and 1,500 yards rushing. Carolina’s Cam Newton and Seattle’s Russell Wilson are others. … Fantasy tip: Jaguars expect significant role for former Cleveland RB Carlos Hyde, acquired last week in exchange for fifth-round draft pick. Hyde likely to take carries from starter T.J. Yeldon. Look for big day from Eagles WR Nelson Agholor if Jags are without three of top four cornerbacks, including starter A.J. Bouye (calf).
