Foles was spectacular in Philadelphia’s unrelenting dominance, with numbers (26-of-33 passing, 352 yards, three TDs) that would have been close to perfect against any defense, let alone one as stingy as Minnesota’s top-ranked unit. Foles was let loose early by coach Doug Pederson, and the QB didn’t ease up until the game was out of reach. Although the current Eagles head coach schemed well for his QB, what Foles did Sunday would not have been possible without his work for Pederson’s predecessor, Chip Kelly, back in 2013 and ‘14....
