Nick Foles has done it once again. 

The former Arizona Wildcats quarterback was installed into Chicago Bears offense in the second half and rallied them to a 30-26 victory on Sunday, completing 16 of 29 passes for three touchdowns and an interception. 

When the Bears trailed the Atlanta Falcons 26-10 in the third quarter, Foles replaced Mitchell Trubisky, who was named the starter over Foles heading into the season, after the former No. 2 overall pick struggled to move the ball in the second half. 

Foles' first drive resulted in his only interception of the game, but he managed to throw three touchdowns — all of which came in the fourth quarter, including a 28-yard shot to Anthony Miller to put the Bears ahead with 1:53 left in the game. 

The Bears are 3-0 on the season and will host the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday 10 a.m.

Former UA running back J.J. Taylor continues to carve out a role with the New England Patriots. 

The 5-foot-6-inch, 185-pound Taylor rushed for a season-high 43 yards on 11 carries, the most touches by any Patriots rusher on Sunday, in New England's 36-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. 

The undrafted Taylor has 70 yards on 16 carries this season. 

The 2-1 Patriots travel to Kansas City to face the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs next Sunday at 1:25 p.m.
