Earlier today, Eagles kicker Jake Elliott hit a 61-yard-long field goal to win the game, but that wasn’t the best part…
61 yards. An #Eagles franchise record. What a moment for Jake Elliott! #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/F4qp10FMs1

…this is the best part. Check out mom and dad after the kick cleared the crossbar (note dad trying to hold it together while mom is high-fiving and hugging everyone she sees):
Probably the best reaction from @LFFStadium: Jake Elliott's parents. #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/5sy9IKjk0L

What a wonderful moment on an otherwise crazy day:
Made me tear up especially the father's reaction. Emotion in his face. https://t.co/fl0PJkqDnT

And this is a very good question for the Eagles:
Can we get the kicker's parents better seats next time? https://t.co/gpPbseV3bg

They’ve earned it!
