And once again, Foles has graced the latest cover of Sports Illustrated.
The headline reads, "Again?!" and adds, "What can the defending champs do for an encore? Nick Foles is back and has some ideas."

January 23, 2018 Foles' teammates shared thoughts about their quarterback in the article: "Foles long ago ceased surprising them," it reads. "Safety Malcolm Jenkins said this is what he expected, nothing less. Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox made it clear, no one on the team doubted the QB that week. Tackle Lane Johnson pointed out that whenever Foles is called upon, whenever he gets a chance, 'he shows what he can do.' "
