2017: Back to Philly for a Super season
On March 9, the Chiefs declined a second-year option on his contract, making him a free agent. On March 13, Foles signed a two-year contract to return to the Philadelphia Eagles to back up 2016 first-round pick Carson Wentz. During Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, Foles came in relief of Wentz, who left the game with a torn ACL. Foles completed 6-of-10 passes for 42 yards as the Eagles won 43–35, clinching their first division title since 2013. On Dec.11, Doug Pederson announced Foles would be the starter for the rest of the season. Foles was 2-1 in the regular season and went on a magical run in the playoffs, leading the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship. In his MVP performance against the Patriots, Foles threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns and caught a TD pass on the legendary “Philly Special.”
