In the last leg of Nick Foles' victory lap with Eagles, he is a hero for introverts

The funny thing about all of this is that Nick Foles never wanted it. Not only that, he actively avoided it. A lot of guys are just being proper when they claim such things, but Foles is a different kind of character. If he never seemed entirely at ease during his first go-round, that’s because he wasn’t. At least, not when the whole world is watching the way that it does when you’re the starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles. Some guys are attracted to that glare, addicted to it even. But to a lot of others, it is a laser beam, like the sun through a magnifier, and you are the bug smoldering beneath its inescapable concentration.
