Nick Foles leads the Eagles to the Super Bowl

As most Eagles fans already know, Foles became a legend in Philadelphia after leading the Birds to a 41-33 victory against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. The game’s MVP, Foles surpassed Tom Brady by throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a decisive 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 improbable title run came after starting quarterback Carson Wentz was knocked out for the season with a knee injury in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.
