Foles Honored by Eagles Before Falcons Matchup
Philadelphia, PA - The Philadelphia Eagles honored their beloved former quarterback Nick Foles ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
A Moment of Recognition
The Eagles, in a gesture of appreciation for Foles' contributions to the team, took a moment before the game to recognize the Super Bowl LII MVP. Foles, who led the Eagles to victory in that historic game, was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the packed stadium.
A Warm Welcome Home
Foles, who spent five seasons with the Eagles from 2012 to 2017, was drafted by the team in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. After a brief stint with the Rams and a return to Philadelphia in 2017, Foles became a hero for the city, leading the Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl victory.
The Impact of Foles
"Nick Foles is a legend in Philadelphia," said Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. "He's a guy who came in and made a difference for this franchise, and he'll forever be remembered for his contributions."
Foles, who was a fan favorite during his time with the Eagles, was visibly moved by the recognition.
Looking Ahead
Foles, who has continued his NFL career with other teams since leaving the Eagles, is currently a free agent. While his future remains uncertain, his legacy in Philadelphia is secured.
The Eagles' Current Situation
The Eagles, under the leadership of Jalen Hurts, look to continue their winning ways this season. Their matchup against the Falcons marks the start of a new chapter for the team, but the spirit of Nick Foles will forever remain in the hearts of Eagles fans.
