Nick Foles isn't just reminiscing about the Philly Special - he's already taking a swing at Tom Brady and the Patriots ahead of Sunday's AFC title game. The former Eagles quarterback, who won Super Bowl LII MVP in a thrilling comeback victory over the Patriots, couldn't resist throwing some shade.
Foles' comments on X were clear: the Patriots have struggled against backup quarterbacks in big games. And with Denver Broncos backup Jarrett Stidham set to replace injured starter Bo Nix, Foles is saying the Pats may be in for an upset.
The Philly Special - a trick play that led to a game-tying touchdown and helped propel the Eagles to victory - was one of the most memorable moments of Super Bowl LII. But it's not like the Patriots have forgotten about that night. And with Brady now gone, they'll need to rely on their defense and Stidham to pull off an upset.
As for Foles, he knows a thing or two about beating Tom Brady and the Patriots. His comments are likely intended to rile up the Pats faithful - but ultimately, it's Stidham who will be facing the music in Denver come Sunday.
