Eagles: Jake Elliott continues to stack awards
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is Week 12's Special Teams Player of the Week for his 59-yard game-saving kick against the Buffalo Bills

That's Elliott's third Special Teams Players of the Week award this season and his sixth time total earning the award since he entered the league in 2017. 

He has now been successful on 6 of 7 field goal attempts from 50 yards or more this season. 

Over his entire career so far, Elliott has nailed 4 of 4 attempts from 58-plus yards and has been successful on all eight kicks that have happened under two minutes in game regulation or overtime. 

"Nobody I’d rather have in the NFL more than Jake Elliott," head coach Nick Sirianni said post-game. "Shoot, to me he’s the best kicker in the NFL. He’s so clutch. He’s so clutch, right?"

Elliott isn't the only Eagles player stacking awards this season. 

As a team, the Eagles have totaled seven awards through 12 weeks:

Week 1: Jake Elliott NFC STPOW
Week 2: D’Andre Swift NFC OPOW
Week 4: Jake Elliott NFC STPOW
Week 7: A.J. Brown NFC OPOW
Week 8: Jalen Hurts NFC OPOW
Play of Month October: A.J. Brown NFC OPOM
Week 12: Jake Elliott NFC STPOW

And as the 10-1 Eagles continue to rack up wins, you can bet there are more awards to come.
