So much for the notion that quarterback Nick Foles was not defined by his 2020 performance — that he was a victim of bad timing more than anything else.
After replacing Mitch Trubisky as the starter, Foles faced four defenses ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in his first five starts (the Colts, Buccaneers, Rams and Saints). By the time he faced the 25th-ranked Titans in Week 9, his offensive line was a mess — seventh-round rookie Arlington Hambright was starting at left guard in his first NFL appearance, former undrafted free agent Alex Bars was playing center for the first time at any level and former defensive tackle Rashaad Coward was starting at right tackle for the first time.
