The Jacksonville Jaguars are visiting the Philadelphia Eagles for their 2014 NFL regular season opener. The game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon.
There are certainly some questions for the Jaguars, especially on the offensive side of the ball. How will Toby Gerhart play in his first feature role? Will rookie receivers Marqise Lee, Allen Robinson, and Allen Hurns elevate their game for the regular season? Can Chad Henne stave off Blake Bortles as the starting quarterback?

#Eagles rookie kicker Cody Parkey kicks his second field goal of the game, #Eagles now lead 27-17.

4:10 PM: Chad Henne had a fourth-and-one. Chad Henne had a wide open Marcedes Lewis. Chad Henne overthrew him.
"Chad Henne." http://t.co/n7BRcYK40z

4:03 PM: Saying Jeremy Maclin was "wide open" is an understatement.
Wow. 68-yard TD pass from Foles to a wide open Maclin.

3:47 PM: *pats brow with handkerchief*
Parkey 51FG for Eagles good -- tie-game at 17, 10:55 left.

3:13 PM: That's 14 unanswered points in the first six minutes of the third quarter. Man.
Touchdown stands ... Jaguars 17, Eagles 14 | Zach Ertz 25 pass from Nick Foles (Cody Parkey kick), 7:19 remaining third quarter.
— John Oehser (@JohnOehser) September 7, 2014
3:00 PM: J.T. Thomas made a great stop on third down, but Chip Kelly brought the no-huddle on fourth-and-short and the gamble paid off.
Jags defense got caught being a little slow lining up on fourth down. Sproles exploits it for a 49-yard TD up the middle.

2:33 PM: The Jaguars defensive line is literally having its best half ever. *faints again*
That's a franchise-record five sacks in the first half for Jaguars.
— John Oehser (@JohnOehser) September 7, 2014
2:14 PM: Another missed kick by Josh Scobee, this one a block. But, hey, Jaguars still up 17-0 so...
Josh Scobee’s kick is blocked by #Eagles! Again… #Jaguars still up 17-0.

1:49 PM: At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles defense committed a horse collar tackle on Gerhart. He's currently trying to walk it off on the sideline. He wants back in.
Denard Robinson in at running back for the Jaguars after Toby Gerhart goes off with an injury. Also, Chad Henne has already thrown for 2 TD.

1:31 PM: *does cabbage patch*
Undrafted FA Allen Hurns is 1st rookie in at least 50 years with 2 TD catches in the 1st quarter of Week 1

1:14 PM: JAGUARS UP 7-0! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

1:09 PM: And the ruling on the field stands! *defensive line wins MVP award*
Jaguars DE Chris Clemons with sack fumble on Nick Foles. Ryan Davis recovers. They're reviewing.
— John Oehser (@JohnOehser) September 7, 2014
1:05 PM: It was third-and-one and should be Toby Gerhart's strength.
#Jaguars go three-and-out on first series. Interior offensive line has to do better.
— BCCGameday Tweets (@BCCGameday) September 7, 2014
1:02 PM: I CAN'T STOP SHAKING.
#Eagles win the coin toss and defer. #Jaguars will receive the opening kickoff!
