Nick Foles already made sense as perhaps the Giants’ most coveted quarterback alternative to Eli Manning this offseason.
And Sunday’s 16-15 Eagles wild-card playoff win in Chicago only confirmed Foles’ value, particularly his sidearm, fourth-down, game-winning touchdown pass to Golden Tate around Bears pass rusher Leonard Floyd with the poise and athleticism of a Super Bowl LII MVP.
“What I learned on those stages is just how to calm myself in a chaotic moment when there’s stuff from the outside world, it’s a ton of pressure,” Foles said after his fourth straight win this season and fourth consecutive playoff win dating back to last.
