The Philadelphia Eagles are 1-0 after a less than satisfying Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. Time to hand out some winners, losers, and IDKs.
WINNERS
JAKE ELLIOTT
The game ball goes to the Eagles’ kicker. They don’t win this game without him. Playing in rainy weather, Elliott made field goals (in order) from 32, 56, 48, and 51 yards out. Those were 12 of the Eagles’ 25 points.
He wasn’t perfect; his 48-yard make fortuitously bounced in after hitting the upright and he missed a significant extra point that would’ve made it a three-possession game at 17 to 0.
