Tom Brady says he's 'jealous' of Nick Foles
The Eagles are hoping Nick Foles will bring them good luck after naming him as honorary captain for the NFC Championship game against the Commanders.
Tom Brady stands alone as the best quarterback in Super Bowl history, but how far ahead of the field is he? Here are all the best performers.
When Fox’s cameras panned to Foles in the crowd during the fourth quarter, Brady hilariously admitted that he doesn’t hate his former peer, but he is certainly envious of him! Tom Brady to Nick Foles: “I don’t hate you I’m just jealous of you. You caught it, I didn’t!” pic.twitter.com/iSzzP355au
The Eagles tried their own trick play — the “Philly Special” — in the fourth quarter when Foles caught a pass from Trey Burton for a touchdown. Philadelphia won, 41-33, despite Brady throwing for three touchdowns and 505 yards.
Former NFL quarterback Nick Foles was among the many in attendance at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday to watch his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, play the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
As for the “catch” reference, Brady failed to reel in a reception off a trick play during Super Bowl LII. During a 3rd-and-5 play in the second quarter, New England dialed up a play where James White flipped the ball over to Danny Amendola, who tossed up the ball to a sprinting Brady down the field.
That means the Eagles’ best Super Bowl moments are pleasantly relegated to their one triumph, the 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots on Feb. 4, 2018, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. These are the top five Eagles' Super Bowl moments, ranked in reverse order:
The first time Manning got the better of Brady was in Super Bowl XLII. Manning led an underdog Giants side to a win over the unbeaten New England Patriots. He threw two go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdowns in the upset win and earned Super Bowl MVP honors for his efforts.
Nick Foles saga awoke after being dormant for seven years following Super Bowl LII, won by Foles’ Eagles. Brady and Foles did not shake hands after Philadelphia defeated New England 41-33 in Minneapolis.
Tom Brady was trolled for Super Bowl loss to Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles as the Eagles return to the Super Bowl.
Tom Brady’s Super Bowl nemesis was in the house for. Fox cameras showed Nick Foles during the Eagles’ 55-23 triumph over the Commanders and it gave Brady — in the booth for Fox — a chance to discuss his relationship with his fellow former quarterback.
