Against the Giants, Jake Elliott wasn’t kicking for Carson Wentz’s money — just for the Eagles’ season

The stakes this time were different but not necessarily that much lower, though Carson Wentz's paycheck was not in play.

The last time the New York Giants visited Lincoln Financial Field, all Jake Elliott had to do was hit a franchise-record 61-yard field goal at the gun to give the Eagles a 27-24 victory. Sideline microphones picked up Wentz telling teammates he would give Elliott his paycheck for the week if he made the kick. (Turned out, that's against NFL rules, but Wentz donated to the charity Elliott specified.)

It was a huge moment in Week 3 of the Super Bowl season, but it was Week 3.
