- Jake Elliot's Field goal may just be the greatest kick of all time. Very hard to tell and score all the kicks but I think it very well may be. I would love to hear your guys' thoughts in the comments!

elliot in his entire career:
never missed a kick during playoffs
never missed a game tying kick
never missed a game winning kick
say what you will about his random xp and 40 yarder misses at the weirdest possible times but when the games on the line he is an absolute clutch monster
dude is clutch obtw he not a big football fan he wants to play tennis for a living lmao
@@greaserbubtheoriginal7923 he's a huge golfer too, so having experience with both of those sports combined wouldn't surprise me as to how he's able to hit more consistently from further distances lol
He actually missed an extra point in super bowl 52 but other than that he has been fantastic
@@TheNerdySportsGuy he also bowls dude can do it all
@@thomassherwin7585pretty sure he meant field goals
59 yards for the win in a 40° drenching rain is ridiculous… The eagles offense didn’t even celebrate much they were all stunned he made it! 🤣
it wasn't for the win.
@templarknight7 um the birds finished it less than 10 mins later just the same
@@templarknight7 And? It didn’t “win the game” but in that moment it was the single only thing that kept them from losing. Also don’t underestimate the effect of forcing a team to overtime in that way. That was deflating for the Bills in a huge way.
@@templarknight7 you're right is wasn't for the win. It was to prevent a loss.
they still had to go win in ot
It's an incredible kick
My favorite thing is how disgusted Hurts and Kelce were that it was made. They both were shaking their heads. They knew they dun effed up and were saved by a nearly impossible kick lol
And the refs eagles would have at least 3 losses this season if it weren't for the stripes
@@inkarceration4069 Refs really helped this kick big time, let me tell you. Those two Kelce penalties worked wonders!
@@inkarceration4069refs were definitely the reason for a miscommunication in OT for a potential game winner
@@xtlm wouldn't have been in that situation if for the blown calls. Really not that hard to grasp... clearly ignored horse collar to then call intentionally grounding... Eagles aren't shit without refs. Been bailed out every game since miami
@@inkarceration4069im not an eagles fan but notice how every good team always “has the refs help”. Patriots, chiefs and now eagles. Its almost like people love to hate good teams and scrutinize all the bad calls that go in their direction.
Jake Elliot is absolutely underrated. He made his career-long game-winning 61 yarder against the Giants back in '17 which is the year they went the Superbowl. Definitely important for the season, the only thing missing was conditions. He was the backup kicker at the time.
I really do think Elliot will go down in history as one of the greats. Certainly in Eagles history at least, along side the likes of David Akers who was an absolute stud.
Too early to say he'll go down as one of the greats, that's the thing with kickers. We see flashes of greatness and incredible peaks for SO many kickers, but what makes the best ones the best are how long they can do it before they just fall off the face of the earth. Tucker is the GOAT because he just doesn't ever decline. We see it so frequently with kickers that come in, have an amazing 1-3 seasons, but then have a bad stretch of games or a bad season and just never ever recover from it.
I mean, Elliot has been doing this for 6 years, hard to call that a peak. @@dtmuffinman
@@dtmuffinmanBig Snake Jake is a legend in Philly and that's all that matters to us fans 🦅
Hes never missed a kick in the playoffs or when losing in the last 2 mins or ot.
Jake Elliot is well established as the best kicker in todays game. He’s a legend in KC too.
You're not going to believe me, but watching this this team the entire season, that kick was the only thing I was confident in. Jake Elliott has never missed a clutch kick
I felt the same way.
No I believe you because I thought the same thing. Jake is so underrated.
Statistically speaking hes never missed a kick
I wasnt worried at all lol
you jinxed him so hard
2005 Eagles v Raiders, David Akers game winner on a torn hamstring. Most grit I ever seen from a kicker, he hit that thing and collapsed immediately from the pain.
David Akers is a Beast and will always remain an iconic chess piece in the Eagle’s Reid Era domination of the NFC. (Which led to our continued dominance of the NFC and Superbowl, praying for more, our organization is amazing) GO BIRDS 🦅
I was at that game and I remember Mike/Mark Bartrum (number 88 I think) ended up taking over kicking for Akers until that kick
That 61 yard kick he had against the Giants led the way to their first Super Bowl win
Yep I remember that one 😁
This one will lead to the 2nd one
It may not be an all-time NFL kick, but it damn sure is an all-time Eagles kick.
This aged poorly 😔 until next season
@@improbablywrongabouteveryt6781 😭
Tom Dempsey’s kick from 63 yards with half a foot should get honourable mention. Some say that the kick sounded like a cannon off of his foot. You tube it with actual sound from sideline for best effect. Elliot’s kick is in the top 5 no doubt but Dempsey deserves similar accolades.
During my college years (late 70's to the early 80's), I knew a guy from Detroit who had traveled with his dad and brother to see the game in New Orleans in which Tom Dempsey kicked the 63 yarder. My friend told us that the Detroit fans were seated together in a section of the stadium.
When Dempsey walked out onto the field, the fans from Detroit were really vocal in making fun of both the distance that Dempsey was trying to kick, and of Dempsey's deformity (it was a different era). Keep in mind that in those days, the goal posts were on the goal line, so the spot was really well on its way to being close to the Saints' own goal line.
The Detroit fans were making as much noise as they could when Dempsey kicked the ball, and the _percussion_ of Dempsey's kick shut up Detroit and New Orleans fans alike. My friend claimed that it was like an M-80 going off - it was _felt_ as much as it was heard. The whole stadium was stunned by what was essentially an explosion.
Then, when the ball just cleared the crossbar and both refs (also looking somewhat surprised) signaled a field goal, the stadium erupted, and the Saints fans lit into the same Lions fans that had just been mocking the Saints' kicker, who was essentially the *embodiment* of someone who was "differently abled."
The field was one large patch of mud, too, so he wasn't kicking from a clean and level surface. Kicking indoors today is like going to a driving range: just tee it up in perfect conditions.. Dempsey's kick is unrivaled in my opinion.
Wasn't his half of foot pretty much made of some sort of extremely solid material though? Like having a hammer for a foot lol
All the kicks that equalled or exceeded Dempsey's 63 yarder were all kicked either indoors or in Denver at Mile High. Dempsey's kick at the time was unbelievable and mind blowing.
Looked like a square mallet. Tenderized the football that day!
As an Eagles fan, he's one of the greatest things that's ever happened to us.
chill out he's just a kicker bro. Amazing kicker but i wouldnt go that far.
be sure to thank the Bengals for cutting him
It was insane and they won. Had he missed and they lost, it would have been “expected” by the experts, but he made it and they won.
He nailed a 61-yarder in ‘17 against the Giants to win it and they went on to win the Super Bowl. Of course, Wentz got injured later and Foles took over.
Time will tell.
As an eagles fan, i knew this kick was AMAZING but i am thankful for you isaac to put JAKEY MAKEY in a t3 kick of all time conversion
dude! Was in the stands for this one. Everyone went crazy. Best thing i've ever saw.
He also holds the record for longest post season kick for a rookie and the longest kick for a rookie IN the super-bowl.
I believe he also holds the record for longest kick for a rookie in the regular season as well.
yeah this kick was absolutely wild. dude deserves a ton of credit. He earned his spot on the kicking pantheon now (he was already really good, this was just the crowning achievement so far)
I'm an Eagles fan and Jake Elliot is something special. That 61-yarder against the Giants a few years back was a thing of beauty, but I believe this may be his magnum opus (so far at least). I was on the edge of my seat this entire game, and when Elliot came out to kick I knew the odds were against him but if anyone could do it, it was him. Without him not only would this game have been lost, but very possibly the Week 4 game against Washington could have been lost too, changing the dynamic of everything that came after it.
I have to agree. Of all the field goals ever made, this is one of them.
Ask anyone on the team, Jake The Make is literally they guy thats great at everything he does!
Elliot knew exactly how he had to kick that ball to have a chance... I doubt that he's paid for many beers in philly lately but that's officially free beers for life.
Never really understood the nuances of Special Teams until I came across this channel. Keep up the good work, cheers
looking back, this is the last time the eagles felt joy before they had one of, if not the most spectacular season collapses in nfl history
In 2017 Jake hit a 61 yarder to beat the Giants early in the season. It seemed to light a fire with the team giving them the feeling that they couldn't be stopped. They went on to win the Super Bowl. Hope this kick provides that same feeling. 'We can win no matter what'.
An amazing clutch kick for sure. It will need more time to simmer to see if it will leave a big impact for the Eagles. It's why I don't think it quite tops Vinatieri's game tying 45 yard snow kick in the 2001 AFC Divisional game between Patriots vs. Raiders as that game tying kick saved the Pats season and would lead to the Pats winning the superbowl, giving birth to the Patriots Dynasty.
That kick is pain for anyone not from Boston haha.
the Snow Job was unfair and uncalled for... Does not take anything away from the tying field goal.
@@CARUNNERUP The tuck rule call becomes inconsequential if Vinatieri fails to tie it and send the game to overtime.
The kick won't even happen when Raiders get possession and score or run the clock out. @@Nuke89345
It's really not even close. 2 regular season games? Really???
Jake the Make has never missed a game winning or game tying field goal.
If college football was included, I think the Colorado State vs. Hawai'i game winning kick this past weekend would also be a contender. The clock was running, with just 8 seconds left. The kicker had to run onto the field without any setup and somehow Matt Shipley kicked a 51-yard field goal to win the game, without a second to spare. I would be so happy if you went over this play isaac, as I think it's one of the greatest college football kicks of all time
I told my mom "nobody is realistically expecting him to make this" right before he made it. 😂😂😂
I loved Cody parkeys double doink
when i watched it go down my mouth literally dropped and no words came out
Let’s gooo! I’m so glad this kick as well as Elliot gets the respect he deserves
I was at this game and the roar from the crowd after this kick was the 2nd loudest thing I've ever heard, only after when jalen scored the winning TD
The Eagles needed this win badly, we’re two games ahead of the niners and cowboys for the #1 seed, and we still play both of them. Big time implications for playoff seeding
9-1 and they needed the win "badly". please get a grip.
@@johnnywishbone. Eagles could still give up the #1 seed… we could easily lose both next week and the week after? The win against the bills helped our chances big time. Numbnuts
@@kally286 in your original statement you used the word "badly" - needing to win "badly" means you are about to get eliminated from playoff contention and its necessary to win to stay alive. it would be nice for the eagles to get the #1 seed, but its not necessary for their playoff berth and superbowl run. now do you understand you drama queen?
@@kally286I agree a very tough stretch we have here. Miami then KC then Buffalo and it doesn't get easier then two of the top NFC teams. This eagles team is good, but they still haven't been doing great offensively. They really only show up in the second half most games. With the standings being as close as they are and with the tough schedule every game is pretty much a must win. We're not worried about playoff contention so much as #1 seed. It'll stop us from having to play Dallas again in the playoffs.
@@johnnywishbone. okay badly may have been alittle dramatic didnt realize what you were saying 😂 still a huge win for us tho
It's up there. Talking with a fellow NFL fan who brought up exactly the three you mentioned, before concluding that this one might be the most remarkable of them all.
so glad to have him on my fantasy team
Absolutely stunning.
As far as impact this kick could easily be the difference maker in getting the 1 seed in the playoffs. People have been sleeping on Jake Elliot but not anymore.
When I saw the game Sunday, your take was my thought exactly. I immediately thought that at 59 yards in the rain/cold/wind, this had to be one of the best. No dome at 70 F on carpet kick. Great kick
For us Eagles fans, it was the most beautiful field goal in the world!
That Eagles kick last week against Buffalo and I don't like the eagles but that kick in the rain was clutch!
Hey IP. Great video. I watched this game live on Sunday. I don't have cable or any streaming services. I have a modern "rabbit ears" antenna. I have to say, watching this game, and this kick, and then for the eagles to win in OT...that was the greatest bang-for-my-buck moment in my sports watching career. Love the dunk celebration by the kicking team afterwards too. As far as best kicks ever? Call it recency bias but it has to be top 3 after the other 2 you put up at the beginning.
your video quality is improving tremendously, keep it up!
The most memorable for me was his 61 yard field goal against the Giants, with one second, yes ONE SECOND, to go. And he puts it right down the middle. You could hear a pin drop at the snap, and then the Linc just erupts when it goes through.
“Right down the middle?”
Ball almost had paint on it from the right upright.
Which is fine since he started on right hash, and kicked it straightest line & shortest distance.
I can't help but think of Matt Ammendola's game-tying attempt just a few hours earlier. Just a few more feet... we might thrown that one into the mix!
Elliott's kick is definitely one for the ages... as an Eagles fan, I've already ordered the oxygen for this week's tilt against the 49ers! 🤣
Was waiting for this video
As a Cowboys fan who was hoping to gain a game on the Eagles, I knew Elliot was going to nail this. This kick probably gives the Eagles the division. The man is clutch.
Monday morning Jake Elliot was interviewed on 94.1 Philly Spots Talk in my Philadelphia area and said that was his most difficult kick ever. Also, our sports talk guys were kind of having an agreement that we are starting to have to see Jake Elliot as our best kicker of all time over David Akers which, it sounds silly but makes me emotional as a life long Eagles fan. non-NFL fans wouldn’t get it, real fans would.
Elliot has certified himself as a Philly legend. I want a #4 jersey.
Implications…. The Eagles are playing for home field advantage in the playoffs. Elliot misses that kick it kills their momentum and they are 9-2. Then if the Eagles lose to San Fran next week they are 9-3 and they lose home field to San Fran. That kick helped them keep a buffer. Now they need to keep the momentum going and beat San Fran.
I’m an eagles fan but vinatieri’s kick in the snow in the tuck rule game is the greatest kick in NFL history
That kick was insane like I had to rewatch it on TH-cam just to see it actually go in. I may have to get this guys jersey lol mindbottling
Elliot has never ever once missed a must have and that, woulda been good from 70. If not 68, rain wind. And he’s hit a 61 game winner that propelled the eagles to a super bowl victory in 2017
Speak for yourself not thinking he wasn't going to make it. Dude kicks bombs and as is clutch as they come. Glad he's on the map for ya now.
NGL, that FG by Elliott was insane!
It’s in the Pantheon. Forever.
Good take.
Subbed.
I was at that patriots game. My dads friend gave us his tickets because he thought brady would choke and the blizard wasnt worth sitting through. Now its remembered as one of the greats game off all time.
One of the best kicks I’ve ever seen. Rivaled by any kick by Iowa to beat a top 10 team.
Tom Dempsey a handicapped kicker, & another Eagle, had a 63 yarder that held up for decades
This kick was so unreal. Not even being biased because I am from Philly. The way he drilled that football and kept it at a low angle was unreal. He absolutely roped it. Would love to see some sports science on this kick.
I was there at the game, and it was a legendary moment
What comes to my mind is the Jack Dempsey Field goal against the Lions in 1970. I watched as a unlikely kicker, kicking straight on and not soccer style, born with a club foot, kicked a 63 yard field goal to win the game for New Orleans. It had never been done and wouldn't happen again for another 28 years. It took 43 years to surpass it.
Dallas needed this game to gain ground on Philly; potentially one important point that may show up in the final stretch.
Quite impressive to say the least with those conditions and distance.
Life long patriots fan, we forget how much Adam Vinatieri was key to the patriots early success not just tom brady or Belichick
That was the most calm I was that entire day, knew he had it.
Dempsey kick of 63, I watched it live on tv, with all Tom had going on physically, was awesome to see. I’ll never forget it, and I’m a Giants fan🏈
I remember a dude kicking a FG to win a playoff game, in the snow. Can’t recall his name. 😉 He later kicked the FG to win the Super Bowl.
But yeah, let’s call a regular season game “the greatest kick ever.”
That dude hit a 61 yard dagger against the Giants in 2017 that greatly helped the birds on their way to their first ever super bowl.
Jake Elliot won me my fantasy game that week because of this field goal
Yep, I agree. And I'm a die hard Niners fan who was rooting against them that game. I even voted for Elliot for the Pro Bowl because of this kick.
Elliott was killer at Memphis his whole tenure. I strangely had no doubt in my mind watching it live that he'd have any trouble making the kick.
Agreed. Helluva kick
Romo and Jim Nantz were so upset whenever the eagles made a play they wanted the bills to win desperately 😂
So did the refs, nfl and especially Vegas. Lol bring me the money
That shot of Jalen just shaking his head says it all. Coming here after they fucking stupidly designed a play to get a DPI call instead of just getting into field goal range for Jake and are on a 3 game slide. I needed to see this today
Right you are. Top 3 is a very good assessment.
Fair to put this kick in the conversation, but clearly behind the other two examples you gave.
This is a good one but...the 2017 week 3 kick vs the Giants was the moment where that team put their mind in a place where there was no option other than winning the SB. Daddy Loong Stroke, is and will always be a legend.
Gotta put Jake's first 61 yard kick in the greatest ever as well. Game on the line, 61 yards, sent them through to the Superbowl, longest ever by a rookie and a franchise record. Oh, and it was the year he was picked up off the Bengals PRACTICE SQUAD to join the Eagles after being initially waived by the Bengals from the draft.
He also holds 3 NFL records for a rookie. Longest FG ever (above) longest playoff game FG, and longest superbowl FG. He holds a staggering 6 franchise records: Longest kick (above, but has done it twice) highest completion %, season 50+ FGs, career 50+ FG, longest playoff FG, and longest Superbowl FG.
Great video! I hadn't seen any of these so this was a treat. I think being able to kick a ball through the uprights is impressive enough but under pressure to win? Supremo.
I watched the kick live, and it was indeed crazy! 🤣🤣🤣
I really need us to talk about the holder.
I see so many clips of this talking about Jake (which is so great!) but significant credit goes to the holder too--
On snap, the holder has to place the ball at the correct spot, the perfect angle, and laces facing away.
My man #10 placed the ball and then spun it in a blink... just take a look for yourself!
That’s why we fucking love Jake Elliot
My fav part is just how hard he smacked the holder to celebrate. Like dude was going for the KO 😅
I said this in real time. Given the circumstances and conditions this kick is up there on the greatest kicks in recent memory for sure.
i dont think the stakes of the kick are so much for the Eagles as they were for the Bills. The Eagles knew damn well that winning this game made the Bills' chances of making it to the playoffs much much more difficult which realistically for them is something worth considering. The Bills have been super bowl contenders for a few seasons now so knocking them out is definitely going to be relevant for the Eagles post season picture. I understand the steaks aren't super big in the micro, but on the macro the impact that kick had on the Bills trajectory for the season was catastrophic. So while it wasn't a must win, it was definitely an important win.
1970 Saints...Tom Dempsey 63 yd FG. partial amputee (1/2 of his kicking foot) and pre Soccer style kicking . GOAT
The outcome of the season for the Bills, was decided by that successful field goal by Jake the Make.
Elliot has always been under rated for most of his career as most Philly sports teams are as well. Philly never gets a break even when they are good.
I watched that Eagles Bills game live, I was stunned when I saw the ball go through the goal posts, I didn't think he had a chance to make it
When I was watching this I literally said “if he makes this it’ll go down as one of the greatest field goals in history” thinking he had no chance😂
Incredible kick, should be a top 10 for years to come
Watching it live I thought there was no chance he would make it. absolutely stunned
What makes it even sweeter, as a lifelong E-A-G-L-E-S -EAGLES, is that they’re wearing that clean & beautiful KELLY GREEN uni’s. The Randall Cunningham era…plain with no lines or flashes…just the green, number and that flying E-A-G-L-E-S -EAGLES on the arm..
It's weird to feel like a regular season, game-tying FG could be in the convo for greatest NFL FG's ever. But I've watched enough football to know that feeling after it watching it live wasn't unwarranted. For a Super Bowl runner up team that's paving a new road back to the big game, with a score like that, in weather conditions like that, against a team like that is what makes it such a great moment.
Sounds like it has potential for a Deep Rewind someday
That jake elliot kick won me a fantasy win
I have Elliot in both my fantasy leagues, solid 10ish points a week. He usually scores more than my TE
Tom Dempsey November 1970 63 yard field goal and held that record 43 years. Hard to beat that!
Defense wins championships, but special teams wins games.
It is kinda crazy how that Tucker 66 yarder if you move it like 3 yards forward it’s just like “Well yeah he’s in Tucker range” even though it would still be a 63 yard winner lol.
Really shows how crazy good of a kicker he is
Adam Vinatieri in the Snow-Blizzard~~~I was Fortunate to Witness-It on TV = WoW
For personal bias reasons, no Ravens player will be considered "great" in my opinion. And I remember the old Browns kicker, Phil Dawson, kicking a 40+ yard game winning field goal, in a lake effect blizzard with near 40mph cross winds, and visibility being around 10 yards.
Lmao I dont hate the ravens that much
Going into SF up two games as opposed to one and the implication of another Bills loss to their playoff chances/seeding, the kick may prove to be quite influential on the season. 🤔
