He makes the XP, which causes the Eagles to go for 2 on the next score changes the dynamic of the game.
What you and the OP are doing is praising a pitcher that pitches himself into a save opportunity and then says "Did you see that save."
Yes, Elliott's kick changes the dynamic of the game. As does Gostkowski's 2 misses.
So does Elliott's two made field goals.
It's how the game works. Every kick mattered.
I'm praising a kicker who, under 2 minutes left, had to kick a 46 yard field goal against one of the best dynasties in sports history, or else give them great field position.
You're allowed to praise a kicker for doing their job in a clutch situation.
