A half-hour or so after the Eagles' devastating 48-7 loss in New Orleans back on Nov. 18, Carson Wentz sat in a folding chair in the cramped visitors' locker room deep within the Superdome, still wearing his uniform. Elbows on his thighs, he stared at the floor.
To Wentz's left sat Nick Foles, his chair pulled up next to the starting quarterback after the worst game of Wentz's young career. Foles was speaking softly but emphatically into Wentz's ear, as reporters milled about.
"Just be there for him, just talk to him. There's no magic word," Foles said, when asked about that interaction.
