After losing Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Wentz, the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl chances looked bleak. Wentz did a masterful job of bailing the Eagles out of third-and-long situations throughout the entire season; it was fair to wonder if Nick Foles could manage to fill the gaping hole in the production that left with Wentz's departure.
Foles has certainly exceeded expectations this postseason, posting 9.9 adjusted net yards per attempt and completing 77.8 percent of his passes. However, head coach Doug Pederson deserves a lot of credit for how has called plays and managed favorable situations in which Foles can thrive.
