For a minute there, it looked like kicker Jake Elliott was going to be the hero of the week for the Philadelphia Eagles, as his 48-yard field goal against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, England gave the Eagles a 17-16 lead with just eight seconds remaining in the game.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way for Elliot or the Eagles, as a great kick return by Jaguars running back Ameer Abdullah put Jacksonville in position to convert a game-winning field goal, which they did. So, instead of Elliott being the hero, Jaguars kicker Cam Little got to play that role.

After the game, Elliott didn’t sugarcoat how it felt to go from being on top of the world to completely dejected in a matter of seconds.

“It sucks,” Elliott said. “I mean, you come all this way, you think you’re in the driver’s seat to win a big game and now we’re feeling pretty down.”

You can’t fault Elliott at all. He did his job and delivered in the clutch when the team needed him to. On the season as a whole, Elliott has been excellent. He’s a perfect five for five on the season on field goals and 11 for 11 on extra points. Him bouncing back after a relatively down year last season has been one of the few bright spots for Philadelphia so far this season.
