Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said on Monday that Blake Bortles will be the starting quarterback for Sunday's London game vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.

BORTLES: I paid for my brother's college with my first NFL paycheck 

“I spoke to both quarterbacks this afternoon and told them that Blake will be our team’s starting quarterback," Marrone said. "I believe this gives us the best opportunity to win.”

Bortles was pulled during the Jags' 20-7 loss to the Texans on Sunday. It was their third loss in a row, and the Jaguars did not score in the first half in any of those games.

Bortles fumbled twice against the Texans and was replaced by backup Cody Kessler.
