Eagles Coach Sirianni Backs Kicker Jake Elliott Despite Career-Low 70.8% FG Rate

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is enduring a career-worst season, hitting just 70.8% (17-of-24) of his field goals, ranking 39th among NFL kickers. He recently missed three attempts (43, 52, 57 yards) in a single game, contributing to a 6-for-11 (54.5%) slump over his last five games—his worst five-game stretch since 1997. Despite these struggles, Head Coach Nick Sirianni expressed "a lot of confidence" in Elliott, confirming the team will not hold tryouts for other kickers. Elliott's long-range accuracy is also a concern, with a 5-for-15 record from 50+ yards over the past two seasons, the league's lowest. Sirianni believes Elliott, who made 10-of-11 FGs in the Super Bowl LIX playoffs, will rebound.
