Key Points:
- During the opening kickoff of the Eagles-Jaguars game in London, linebackers Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Bryan Thomas Jr. were ejected following offsetting penalties.
- Referee Ron Torbert clarified that the ejections were due to "continuous non-football actions" after the play, with no punches thrown.
- The officiating crew made the ejection decision independently, which was later confirmed by the NFL league office.
- The NFL will review the incident for potential further discipline, though suspensions are less likely since both players missed the entire game except for a nullified kickoff.
