It’s an old story to Bears quarterback Nick Foles, but not around here. Foles’ NFL career reached a low point after miserable season as the Rams’ No. 1 quarterback in 2015.
Acquired in a trade for former No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford, Foles was a shell of the quarterback who had led the NFL in passer rating two years earlier. He went 4-7 with a 69.0 passer rating in 11 starts with the Rams before being benched in favor of Case Keenum.
‘‘After my year in St. Louis, I lost the joy of the game,’’ said Foles, who detailed that nadir in his book, ‘‘Believe It: My Journey of Success, Failure, and Overcoming the Odds,’’ which was published after he was the most valuable player of Super Bowl LII.
