Nick Foles’ stats with the Eagles: wins, TDs, Superbowls, record...
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback retired this year and is being honored at their MNF game tonight. Here’s a look at his unique stats with Philly.
Before the Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field tonight for Monday Night Football action, they’ll hold a special ceremony for legendary Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who announced his retirement from the NFL last month. He will officially retire as an Eagle tonight.
Foles’ stats in the NFL are quite the head-scratcher. He was in the league for 11 years and in his last seven years in the league, he only won 10 regular season games. He played for six different teams in his 11 career seasons, spending five of those years with the Eagles. He played in just 38 games for Philly, but he easily became a legend there as he helped them win Super Bowl LII.
Nick Foles’ career with Philly
Foles was drafted by the Eagles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft and 2013 was his best statistical season, when he threw 27 touchdown passes and just two interceptions to earn his first Pro Bowl honors. He played through the 2014 season before then moving on to play for the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs before finally coming back to the Eagles in 2017.
In 2017, Foles returned to the Eagles as the backup quarterback to starter Carson Wentz, but as fate would have it, he ended up starting for Wentz later in the season as Wentz went down with an injury. He went on an incredible run, leading the Eagles through the postseason and all the way to the Super Bowl where they faced Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.
Foles took the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory that season, dethroning Brady and giving Philly their one and only Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise (still to this day). In the process, Foles threw for 373 yards, with three touchdown passes and one touchdown catch from tight end Trey Burton, which became known as the “Philly Special”. He remains the only player in league history to throw for 350 yards and three touchdown passes plus a touchdown catch in the same game. His catch from Burton before halftime made him the only player to make a fourth-down touchdown catch by a player on the winning team in Super Bowl history. He earned Super Bowl LII’s Most Valuable Player.
Foles ended his career with the Eagles with a 26-14 record, an 83.2 passer rating, 8,703 yards, 58 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions in 40 games and took them to their one and only Super Bowl victory in 2018.
“I will be there with gratitude for everything,” Foles said. “Philadelphia was always the place that I felt at home. To retire as an Eagle is the right way to end my career.”
