The Eagles were the NFC’s wire-to-wire best team in the 2017 season, but they were still five-point underdogs against the Patriots with backup quarterback Nick Foles starting for an injured Carson Wentz.
The PhiladelphiaEagles have a new offensive coordinator, and Nick Foles seemingly approves. Sean Mannion, a former Rams quarterback, spent some time with Foles after the Super Bowl MVP’s first stint with the Eagles.
Why did Carson Wentz leave the Eagles?Who did Nick Foles replace on Eagles?. In Week 14 of the 2017 regular season, Nick Foles stepped in as the Eagles’ starting quarterback for Carson Wentz ... Nick Foles has announced his retirement 👏.
A positive note going into the game versus the Patriots is that they struggle against backup QBs in championship-type games.— Nick Foles (@NickFoles) January 18, 2026 ... That time Nick Foles threw an NFL record-tying 7 TDs in one game 🤧@NickFoles .
