Amanda Balionis expressed her support for Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott after his challenging performance against the Washington Commanders this week. The game took place as the holiday season approaches, and Balionis, known for her work with CBS Sports, has been focused on NFL coverage following the conclusion of the 2025 PGA Tour season.
During the match, Elliott missed a crucial field goal in the first half, which was a notable moment in an otherwise successful game for the Eagles. Despite his struggles, the Eagles secured a win with a final score of 29-18, marking their tenth victory of the season. Currently, they are leading the NFC East standings as the playoffs approach, with only two games remaining in the regular season.
The Eagles had an impressive start to the season, winning their first four games, but faced setbacks with two consecutive losses. They rebounded with another four-game winning streak before enduring three losses. Their recent performances include a victory against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15, followed by this recent win. The team is set to face the Buffalo Bills next.
Amanda Balionis, who has gained recognition for her coverage of both golf and the NFL, recently shared a post on her Instagram account, showcasing a screenshot of Elliott during the game along with a supportive caption. In addition to her NFL duties, she reflected on her travels during 2025, indicating she visited 42 cities across 7 countries and covered a significant amount of distance this year.
As the 2026 PGA Tour season approaches, Balionis is excited to be part of the broadcasting team alongside notable figures such as Jim Nantz, Trevor Immelman, and others. The upcoming season was originally scheduled to kick off with the Sentry Tournament, but due to its cancellation, it will now start at the Sony Open in Hawaii, scheduled for January 15 to 18 at the Waialae Country Club.
