LOS ANGELES -- The magic of Saint Nick reappeared Sunday night at the L.A. Coliseum, helping the Philadelphia Eagles to a 30-23 win over the Rams in one of the biggest upsets of the season.
The drill is quite familiar by now: Nick Foles steps in for Carson Wentz, the public doubts Foles' ability to lead the charge, and the team responds by rising to improbable heights.
That story began to unfold at this very stadium this time last year. Wentz was lost to a multiligament knee tear, Foles took over and started on a ridiculous run that included three postseason wins as underdogs on the way to a Super Bowl championship -- the first in the organization's history.
