Jake Elliott is NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 4, according to an official NFL announcement.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ kicker made all four of his field goal attempts and both of his extra point attempts to produce 14 points in a win over the Washington Commanders.
No kick was bigger, of course, than Elliott’s 54-yard attempt to give the Birds an overtime win to advance to 4-0 on the season. That make was the longest game-winning field goal by an Eagles player in overtime since the 1970 merger. Clutch.
As the headline indicates, this is the fifth NFC Special Teams POTW award of Elliott’s career.
