Nick Foles is Mr. Postseason. He’s also going to be revered in Philadelphia forever. Foles considered retirement before returning to the Eagles in 2017. And is the City of Brotherly Love glad he did. Foles led the Eagles to the Super Bowl and victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. He almost worked similar magic in 2018 before Philly fell to the New Orleans Saints. The Jags paid him huge money before the 2019 season. It remains to be seen if this signing pans out the way Philly’s did.
