Jake Elliott is officially the most accurate kicker in Super Bowl history.

Elliott nailed a combined five field goals in five attempts in Super Bowls 52 and 57, tying him with 49ers kicker Ray Wersching for the most career FGs without a miss on the game's biggest stage. After a four for four performance in Super Bowl 59, Jake the Make now holds that record alone.

Nine field goals in nine attempts.

Elliott even connected a few more times, on kicks negated by penalties. And the extra point yips he displayed in the regular season were nowhere to be found.

It's a remarkable finish to a year in which Elliot missed eight regular season FGs and three playoff XPs. As recently as January 21, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was asked if Elliott's job was safe.

"Yes, for sure," Sirianni told 94WIP's Joe DeCamera. "He's six for six in the playoffs on field goals in adverse conditions. I got a lot of faith in Jake and I know he's clutch when we need him to be clutch."

You got that right, coach.

Elliott's 16 total points set a new Super Bowl single-game record. And despite playing in three Super Bowls to Chief kicker Harrison Butker's five, Elliott trails Butker by just one point for the career record (37 points to 36.)

Never. A. Doubt.
