Nick Foles stepped onto the field accompanied by a chorus of cheers following Michael Vick's injury, and the crowd upped the decibel level when Foles threw the first touchdown of his NFL career.
Cowboys vs. Eagles: Nick Foles throws first career touchdown pass

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
That’s really only half the story, because I think literally any NFL quarterback could have made the throw. The coverage was blown so poorly that this was essentially a Turkey Bowl play, and 80% of Foles’ passing yards came on this one broken play-- but let’s not major in minors, let’s celebrate a touchdown folks!
yay.
