In Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Sturgis kicked a 44-yard field goal to tie the game at 20 with 11 seconds to go in regulation as the Dolphins won 22–20 in overtime.

In his first game with the Eagles, Sturgis missed a 30-yard field goal attempt and an extra point attempt, which could have turned the scoreboard in favor of the Eagles as they went on to lose 23–20 to the Washington Redskins. After the game Sturgis took responsibility, saying "the rest of the team gave such a good effort today. [They] played so well. It's tough knowing I didn't do my part. I just went out there and missed. Hurt the team. It's on me." After the game, head coach Chip Kelly decided Sturgis is better than anyone else they could sign. "We looked at what's out there," Kelly said. "I think the state of kicking in the league now is not very good. There's been a lot of changes. ...We feel in terms of what's available out there, we're going to stick with Caleb." In his second game with the Eagles, Sturgis missed another extra point, but was able to make all four of his field goals including one that broke a 7–7 second quarter tie in a 39–17 victory over the New Orleans Saints. However, Kelly did not show much confidence in his kicker as he went for it two times on fourth and long early in the game.
