Eagles' Jake Elliott's Job Security Shaken After Rough Game

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott, a two-time champion and consistent performer since 2017, experienced a difficult first half against the Washington Commanders, missing three crucial field goals. These misses, coupled with other special teams errors, contributed to a rough outing for the Eagles as they aimed to clinch the NFC East. His struggles have resulted in the second-worst field-goal percentage of his career and the lowest since 2020.

Elliott's performance this season, particularly his 1-for-7 record on attempts of 50 yards or more, has led to speculation about his future. Despite being under contract with a four-year, $24 million deal running through 2028, his current form and salary as one of the NFL's highest-paid kickers could prompt the Eagles to consider other options in the offseason.
