CLEVELAND — Nick Foles, Super Bowl MVP, completed his three first passes Thursday night.
Nick Foles, backup quarterback, then took center stage.
Foles took a safety, got strip-sacked, threw two interceptions, and nearly threw another. It was a long first half for the guy who finally brought the Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia.
Super Bowl MVP. Remember that? Seems like a long time ago.
It seemed a lot longer watching Foles against the Browns in the Eagles’ third preseason game. It was 5-0 when Foles finished, since he only played the first half.
The “0” portion of that score meant that the Eagles’ first-team offense failed to score in the preseason, since it won’t play in the finale next week against the Jets.
