The night of the Eagles’ 2017 NFC Championship win, Foles took a walk through Center City alongside packs of celebrating Birds fans. None of them noticed Foles, who just needed a beanie and a hoodie to blend in.

The Eagles broke the huddle and Foles feigned a pre-snap adjustment, moving over behind Lane Johnson to “yell” at him. The ball eventually ended up in the hands of tight end Trey Burton, who found Foles on an end-around all alone on the right side of the end zone.
