Nick Foles was at his most ridiculous Sunday when the Bears needed him most: in the fourth quarter, on third and fourth downs.
In the first three quarters of Sunday’s 30-26 win against the Falcons, the Bears were 1-for-9 in converting third and fourth downs, throwing two interceptions. In the fourth quarter, not counting a kneeldown, Foles converted 4-of-7 third and fourth downs, totaling 89 yards, two touchdowns and a 141.37 passer rating. One incompletion, a 17-yarder on fourth down to Anthony MIller, was ruled a touchdown but then overturned by replay.
“First and second down comes with execution, no doubt about it,” passing game coordinator Dave Ragone said Monday.
