This past week in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagle's back up quarterback Nick Foles tied the NFL record of seven touchdown passes in a game. He played the Oakland Raiders who are not that great of a team and their secondary or people who help defend against pass on their team was not doing so well with many injuries and replacements. Still this was a very impressive game. Also the fact that he is the backup quarterback, the Eagle's original quarterback Michael Vick has been out for a while with a hamstring injury. Nick Foles threw for 406 yards and seven touchdowns and completed 22 of 28 passes attempted. Foles is yet to throw an interception this season which is very impressive. He has played for a total of six games and won three of them. The three he won were against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twice and the Oakland Raiders recently when he tied the record. Neither of these teams are very good in the NFL with the Buccaneers 0-8 and the Raiders 3-5. Next week he will play the Green Bay Packers and that will be more of a challenge because they have a good defense and they are 5-3.
Earlier this season Peyton Manning, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, tied the record as well for seven touchdowns in the opening week against Baltimore Ravens. He has had a great season and is ranked the number one quarterback right now. I think that Nick Foles has a lot of potential to be a great quarterback and lead the Eagles and I hope he does well because the Eagles are not having a good season right now. How do you think Foles will do against harder opponents in the future? Do you think he will take charge of the eagle offense?
