Last week Foles threw for 471 yards and four touchdowns, which was the most single-game yards for an Eagles quarterback. It was also Foles' fourth 400-yard game in Philadelphia, which was also a franchise record. 

Since Foles took over for the injured Carson Wentz, the Eagles have won three consecutive games and with the Vikings' 24-10 loss to the Bears, Philadelphia punched its ticket to the playoffs as a wildcard. 

Last season, Foles led the Eagles to a Super Bowl after replacing Wentz and became the first Arizona Wildcat of all time to be named Super Bowl MVP.

Does Foles have another run left in him? NFL playoffs begin on Friday, Jan. 4.
