Jake Elliott is NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 1, according to an official NFL announcement.
Elliott was instrumental in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. Despite kicking in rainy conditions, he made all four of his field goal attempts. In order, those were from 32, 56, 48, and 51 yards out. The second-year team captain also made an extra point (and missed another) to account for 13 of the Birds’ 25 total points.
As the headline indicates, this is the fourth NFC Special Teams POTW award of Elliott’s career.
