Nick Foles began the 2017 NFL season as a backup quarterback, but he finished the year on top of the sports world with a win in the Super Bowl.

By leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a win over the New England Patriots, Foles is only the second quarterback to beat Tom Brady with a Lombardi Trophy on the line. The only other quarterback is Eli Manning who twice led the New York Giants to a win over the Patriots.
Foles took over the starting role for the Eagles when Carson Wentz suffered a torn ACL. He finished the game with 373 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, and even caught a touchdown pass. It was the most prolific day of offense in Super Bowl history and the 41-33 final score was the second-most points ever scored in the big game.
The victory was the first Super Bowl title ever for the Eagles.
