I vaguely remember that, too. He was running a little cold.
The weird thing about Elliott is that he had trouble with extra points. His FG percentage was actually pretty good for his era, but his extra point percentage was terrible, both with the Chiefs and the Cowboys. He was a 95.8% extra point guy, compared with 98.9 for Lowery, 98.8 for Morten Andersen, 99.2 for Gary Anderson, and so on. Granted, he hit 24 out of every 25 extra points, but that's four times the miss rate that the top kickers had.
Elliott's career field goal rate was actually also terrible, but that's because he struggled at Dallas. Both years with KC he was pretty good on field goals. I wonder why.
