PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles did everything they could to distance themselves from the Chip Kelly era. They hired the anti-Chip in coach Doug Pederson, overhauled two-thirds of the roster, and pushed the eject button on Sam Bradford while shaping a new identity around their hand-picked quarterback, Carson Wentz. But in order to advance to the Super Bowl after Wentz went down, they had to take a major page out of Kelly's playbook to reconstruct his greatest masterpiece -- the 2013 version of Nick Foles.
He appeared out of thin air Sunday, dropping dimes all over the field in a 38-7 Eagles win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game.
