The story behind Foles’ game-winning TD name is simply insane initially appeared on NBC Sports activities Philadelphia

Eagles legend Nick Foles noticed his first motion as a member of the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and boy did he capitalize on the chance. Foles took over for Mitch Trubisky within the third quarter, and promptly led the Bears to a dramatic comeback win over the Falcons to push Chicago to 3-0.

Foles threw a game-winning landing to Bears wideout Anthony Miller with lower than two minutes left, whereas absorbing a success from Atlanta’s go rush, a play already spectacular by itself.

However the story behind how the play got here collectively is much more superb.

Monday morning on NFL Community’s Good Morning Soccer, Peter Schrager broke down Foles’ inside-the-huddle chatter from the third down TD throw:

“I’ve spoken with of us in Chicago, this is what occurred. It is third and eight, and Nick Foles seems to be at Anthony Miller and says, ‘If it is an all-out blitz, I would like you to run to the ‘L’ in the long run zone.’ Miller’s like, ‘What?’ Foles goes, ‘Run to the ‘L’ in Atlanta Falcons in the long run zone. Simply run there and I will discover you. They do not have time to speak about it, he simply says, ‘Simply go there if it is an all-out blitz.'”

And folk, look the place this ball wound up:

Proper. On. The. L.

Foles has lower than three seconds from snap to throw, mainly beneath duress the entire time, because the Falcons despatched six rushers to chase Foles down.

And the person tossed that ball on an absolute rope, proper into Miller’s palms, on the L in “ATL” – similar to he stated he would.

The legend of Nick Foles continues to develop, and it solely will get increasingly more spectacular. I’d be amazed if Foles is not the beginning QB for the Bears going ahead. He definitely earned it Sunday.
