The Philadelphia Eagles are facing challenges with their passing game, but the kicking game presents its own set of issues. Coach Nick Sirianni opted against sending kicker Jake Elliott for a long field goal attempt late in the game against the Carolina Panthers, citing wind conditions as a factor.

Special teams coordinator Michael Clay emphasized the importance of positive reinforcement for Elliott, who has struggled with kicks over 50 yards this season. Clay likened his role to that of a caddie, aiming to help Elliott regain his confidence as the season progresses.
