1. Just Who Is Jake Elliott?

Two weeks ago, Eagles fans did not know who kicker Jake Elliott was. Heck, some may not have known about him at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon, just before kickoff against the New York Giants. But it was the rookie Elliott’s sensational 61-yard kick that shattered both franchise and NFL rookie records and gave the Eagles a thrilling walk-off 27-24 vicotry.
