The Eagles just had another player honored for his special team’s prowess, and this time it is kicker Jake Elliott, who logged 4 field goals in the win over the Saints.

Elliotts’ 16-points were good enough to make some team history and to also get veteran kicker the honor of being the player of the week. The talented veteran moved into sole possession of 3rd place on the Eagles’ all-time scoring list, surpassing Harold Carmichael (474, 1971-83) and Steve Van Buren (464, 1944-51)

Elliott was good on field goals of 50, 37, 33, and 47 yards on the day and he’s made 90% of his field goals (18 for 20) this season.

The Eagles have their middle linebacker of the future already on the roster, as the team announced a contract extension for T.J. Edwards.

A 2019 undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin, Edwards has consistently worked his way into the lineup over the past two years after taking the incumbent’s job. After Eric Wilson lost snaps and eventually was released, Edwards has been the man in the middle for Philadelphia, spearheading an aggressive defensive resurgence.

Edwards would have been eligible to become a restricted free agent after the season and he’s now the fifth Eagles player to sign an extension.
