Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after setting a franchise record for passing yards in a win over the Houston Texans.

In the Eagles' 32-30 win over Houston on Sunday, the former Arizona Wildcat passed for a franchise-best 471 yards and four touchdowns, and became the first player in Philadelphia history to throw for at least 400 yards in four games.

The reigning Super Bowl MVP won his second consecutive game as the starter after he replaced the injured Carson Wentz for the second week in a row.Β 

The Eagles' playoff hopes remain in tact with an 8-7 record. They'll need to beat the Redskins on Sunday and hope for a Minnesota loss to Chicago to clinch the NFC's second wild-card berth. Will St. Nick deliver again?
