🦅 Dicker the Kicker stepped in for the Eagles and his clutch kicks have earned him NFC Player of the Week honors. flyeaglesfly NBCSPhilly
Through five weeks, the Eagles are the NFL’s only undefeated team at 5-0 and have had a player named an NFC Player of the Week after all five games.
The only reason Dicker was with the Eagles in Arizona was because Elliott injured his right ankle in the previous game against Jacksonville. The Eagles flew Dicker in early last week for a tryout, signed him to the practice squad and thenWhile the Cardinals’ replacement kicker Matt Ammendola missed a potential game-tying field goal late in the fourth quarter, Dicker was perfect in his NFL debut.
“Credit to him,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. “He made the kick in a huge moment. He made another kick in a big moment, too, and he was perfect on the extra points. The guys really embraced him. They put their arms around him. That’s our team. They made him feel welcome. Arryn and Rick took him under their arms. Jake gave him support. They embraced him, but all the credit goes to him and the whole special teams unit that was involved in that.
Elliott’s ankle kept him out of action last week but he’ll return at some point soon and then the Eagles won’t need Dicker anymore. But his NFL debut will likely give him future opportunities elsewhere and he’ll always be a part of the Eagles’ 2022 story.
