By the minimum requirement, Nick Foles of the Philadelphia Eagles will become the fourth Super Bowl starting quarterback who started a game for the Chiefs in the regular season at some point in his career.
And that’s just one of several connections between the Chiefs and Eagles, who whipped the Minnesota Vikings 38-7 for the NFC championship on Sunday and will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 4 in Minneapolis.
Foles started one game for the Chiefs in 2016, his only season in Kansas City. The Chiefs defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars and quarterback Blake Bortles 19-14 at Arrowhead Stadium.
