Nick Foles leads Eagles to Super Bowl
As most Eagles fans already know, Foles became a legend in Philadelphia after leading the Birds to a 41-33 win against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. The game’s MVP, Foles outdueled Tom Brady by throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns while also catching a crucial touchdown on the now-famous “Philly Special” play.
To get to the big game, Foles led a thrashing of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC title game at The Linc by throwing for 352 yards with three touchdowns in the 38-7 victory.
The unlikely title run came after starting quarterback Carson Wentz got knocked for the season with a knee injury in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.
