There aren't too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now that have more pressure on their shoulders than Eagles and former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles.
Last week, Foles officially took over the role as the starting quarterback in the second half against the Rams after Carson Wentz left the game with a torn ACL. Foles finished with 6 of 10 passing for 42 yards in the Eagles' 43-35 win.
With Wentz officially ruled out for the season, Foles is called upon to lead the 11-2 Eagles deep into playoffs and Philadelphia is showing support in a festive manner with a billboard of him wearing a Santa Clause hat. The message on the billboard: "Philly believes in you... St. Nick."
Even an Italian bakery just outside of Philadelphia in Collegeville wants the Eagles to have trust in Foles.

Foles was once viewed as Philadelphia's possible franchise quarterback after a breakout 2013 season where he threw for 2,891 yards and only two interceptions with 27 touchdowns.
The irony? Foles posted those numbers after replacing an injured Michael Vick.
Now Foles is leading a team that has the best record in the NFC and home-field advantage for playoffs.
The Eagles play the division-rival Giants (2-11) Sunday at 11 a.m. in New York.
