Nick Foles took the Eagles' Super Bowl win as a chance to roast Tom Brady (again)
Nick Foles outside of the Philadelphia Eagles was a journeyman quarterback capable of being a useful backup and little else. Nick Foles as a Philadelphia Eagle, however, was a supernova lighting up the night sky in a series of explosive bursts. Foles was Super Bowl 52 MVP after a legendary performance that saw him rise up in Carson Wentz's stead and lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl win, out-dueling seven-time world champion Tom Brady in the process. With Brady in the booth doing color commentary for Fox (and adding insight like suggesting the Chiefs wanted to stop the Eagles from scoring in order to win), Foles took Philadelphia's second Super Bowl victory as an opportunity to needle his former, brief rival once more. It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm. Have a great night! — Nick Foles (@NickFoles) February 10, 2025 Foles isn't wrong. The Eagles are 2-1 with Brady in the house in the Super Bowl, having lost to him 20 years earlier. While that's hardly enough data to determine a trend, it's worth monitoring. And worth remembering that, for one night, Nick Foles was better than the greatest quarterback in NFL history.

Tom Brady clears the air on feelings toward Super Bowl champ Nick Foles during Eagles NFC title win
The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Washington Commanders in this past Sunday's NFC Championship game to earn a spot in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Seven-time Super Bowl winner and FOX Sports broadcaster Tom Brady was in the broadcast booth at Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles' 55-23 victory. At one point during the playoff game, television cameras panned to former Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles, who was sitting in one of the stadium's suites. Spotting Foles in the crowd prompted Brady, who suffered one of his three career Super Bowl defeats to the Foles-led Eagles, to recall the infamous loss. While Brady has appeared in a record 10 Super Bowls, Foles and Eli Manning are the only starting quarterbacks to have knocked off the decorated former NFL star in the big game. Brady used Foles' NFC title game appearance as an opportunity to admit he does not harbor any jealousy toward the former Eagles signal caller. "Nick, I don't hate you. I'm just jealous of you. You caught it, I didn't," Brady said after FOX Sports lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt jokingly asked Brady if he knew who Foles competed against in the Super Bowl in February 2018. Brady's "you caught it" comment referenced the famous "Philly Special" trick play during Super Bowl LII. Foles lined up in the backfield on the play, before offensive lineman Jason Kelce snapped the ball to running back Corey Clement. The running back then pitched the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who found Foles in the end zone for a one-yard touchdown. Foles wrote his name in history books by becoming the first player in Super Bowl history to throw and catch a touchdown pass in the NFL's annual championship game. While Foles successfully hauled in the pass thrown his way during Super Bowl LII, Brady failed to catch a pass from one of his wide receivers later in that same game. Eagles fans have not let Brady forget about dropping what would have been a first down. "I get reminded of that play every time I see an Eagles fan," Brady said via SiriusXM in 2022. "I sure as hell can't catch anything, everyone's seen that drop against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, but I can throw it a little bit," Brady joked in 2021 – his second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – during a postgame interview. Brady won six Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots, before winning his seventh championship with the Buccaneers. In February 2023, Brady announced he was retiring "for good." Foles' second stint with the Eagles ended after the 2018 season. He went on to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. He last appeared in an NFL game in 2022. The Eagles drafted quarterback Jalen Hurts in the second round in 2020. Hurts helped the Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII, but suffered a 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in that game. This year's big game, on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, will be a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago. A victory over the Eagles would secure an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title for the Chiefs. But, if Philly is victorious, it would mark the franchise's second Super Bowl championship.

Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl wins, appearances, record
The Philadelphia Eagles made it to Super Bowl 59 with ease after routing the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the 2025 NFC championship game. Now, Philadelphia will turn its attention to the Kansas City Chiefs as the Eagles look to avenge a loss suffered in their most recent Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl 59 will mark the fifth time the Eagles have been to the NFL's biggest stage. It will also give them a chance to win their fifth NFL championship, though three of their titles came in the pre-Super Bowl era. How many Super Bowls have the Eagles won? Here's what to know about their history in the Big Game as they look to deny Patrick Mahomes and Co. the first Super Bowl three-peat in NFL history. NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS:Winners & losers as Josh Allen, Bills still can't get past Chiefs NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. How many Super Bowls have the Eagles won? The Eagles have won just one Super Bowl during their franchise's history. That came in Super Bowl 52, which was played in 2018 as part of the 2017 NFL playoffs. In the second-highest-scoring Super Bowl of all time, the Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33. Philadelphia's lone Super Bowl victory came with backup quarterback Nick Foles entrenched as the team's starter after Carson Wentz suffered a torn ACL. Foles enjoyed a terrific performance in Super Bowl 52, completing 28 of 43 passes for 373 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while also catching a 1-yard touchdown on the famed "Philly Special" play. Tom Brady had a similarly strong performance, racking up 505 yards and three touchdowns in the game. However, he could not catch the lone pass thrown to him on a trick play during the game, a fact he joked about on the broadcast of the 2025 NFC championship game when Foles was shown on screen. The Eagles will look to become the 15th franchise in NFL history to win multiple Lombardi Trophies as they face the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. Eagles Super Bowl record The Eagles have a 1-3 record in four Super Bowl appearances. Their three defeats are tied for the fifth-most in NFL history with five other teams: the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers. The only teams with more Super Bowl losses than the Eagles entering Super Bowl 59 are the Denver Broncos (5), New England Patriots (5), Buffalo Bills (4) and Minnesota Vikings (4). EAGLES TUSH PUSH:How Commanders turned Philly's signature play into 'mental warfare' Full list of Eagles Super Bowl appearances, results The Eagles' most recent Super Bowl appearance was their 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57.

Raiders quarterback Jim Plunkett threw for three touchdowns while Eagles signal-caller Ron Jaworski tossed three interceptions.
