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.
