The Philadelphia Eagles are trying to do something that has happened only nine other times: win a Super Bowl with a backup quarterback.

Minnesota was fighting for the right to be the first National Football League team to host a Super Bowl and actually participate in the game itself.
On Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in the biggest game of the last decade (to date), Foles stood tall and delivered.
“Yeah”, Thielen said, calling the lack of sportsmanship a bad look for the entire NFL.
The Super Bowl is such an American institution that seemingly everyone has thoughts on the big game. In 1993 and 1994, they won one playoff game each time, and in 1995 they made it to the conference championship.
The dramatic improvement of quarterback Carson Wentz, the second overall draft pick in 2016, partly explains the Eagles’ meteoric rise.
In less than two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots will square off at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Both those games saw Philadelphia emerge victorious. But, if the Patriots do win, there is a silver lining.
The total is 48 points.
Now, ex-Patriots LeGarrette Blount and Chris Long have a chance to do the same.
In came Pederson, whose name Shula sometimes had trouble remembering during the insane scramble to find viable depth and the race to get the new guy ready for an emergency. [Eagles’ head coach Doug] Pederson believed him. So we checked with Amazon users in New York City, in Maryland, in Atlanta and even in MA.
“To be in this moment, to share it with our family, our fans, all the people that love the Eagles, this franchise, my teammates, it is honestly unbelievable”, Foles said after the game. The season did not end how we all wanted with a Super Bowl, but with that one play, you changed the mindset of a whole state.
This is likely to be a wide-open game with a lot of excitement and scoring.
Without question, the football journey by Foles has truly been unbelievable when looking at everything he’s experienced over the years between the trade two years ago from the Eagles that sent him to the St. Louis Rams along with last offseason in which the Kansas City Chiefs declined to pickup his option. He had 91 receptions for 1,276 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season and was chosen for the Pro Bowl.
