NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Foles, Nick
QB Nick Foles was speared in the chest by Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney before rising up, sitting out one play, and re-entering to a standing ovation from the Lincoln Financial Field crowd to resume leading his team to a game-winning, 35-yard field goal from Jake Elliott. Elliott's kick came as time expired and launched the Eagles to a 32-30 victory, their fourth win in the last five games. Foles threw four touchdown passes and 471 yards, breaking the club record for yards passing in a game held by Donovan McNabb, who threw for 464 yards on Dec.
5, 2004. Foles now has four 400-plus-yard passing games as an Eagle, which broke the team record of three held by Sonny Jurgensen from 1957-63. With a salary cap hit of $20 million next season, this may have been Foles' final home game as an Eagle, and he was aware of it "It's emotional," said Foles, who got misty-eyed answering the question.
"I love playing in Philly. I knew there was a chance this could be it. I don't think about the future, but I'm aware of that because this city means a lot to me, this team means a lot to me, wearing this jersey means a lot to me.
