We are officially one game into the 2018 NFL season, and impressively, I’m off to a good start. Thanks to the Falcons’ offense being absolutely awful in the red zone, I’m taking a 1-0 record into the first NFL Sunday of the year.
But man, the Eagles didn’t make it easy.
Let’s paint a little picture here: About eight months ago, backup quarterback Nick Foles (who previously had never been very good, hence why he was a backup) jumped into the starting role for the Eagles, hit the ground running, turned in one of the best postseasons by a quarterback ever, threw for almost 400 yards in Super Bowl LII, tossed three touchdown passes, even caught a touchdown pass, decided not to also rush for a touchdown because that clearly would’ve doing been too much, won Philadelphia its first ever Super Bowl title and was named Super Bowl MVP.
