We’ve heard a fair amount this week about that magical 2013 Nick Foles season, the 27 touchdowns with two interceptions, the astonishing seven-TD-pass day at Oakland.
Much less discussed has been what happened the next year, with Eagles fans expecting the 2.0 version of Foles and head coach Chip Kelly to be even better. It wasn’t. We didn’t really know it at the time, but Foles’ chance to become the team’s franchise quarterback ended on Nov. 2, 2014, in Houston, when Foles went down with a broken left collarbone in a 31-21 Eagles victory.
The Birds were 6-2 following that game, and there was hope that Foles could return for the playoffs.
