Death, taxes and former Arizona Football star Nick Foles finding success in football. It is what we have grown accustomed for quit some time now as fans of the Wildcats, and in particular, Foles.

Coming into the Chicago Bears’ game to replace quarterback Mitch Trubisky, Nick inherited a 26-10 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons, with little time that was quickly waning .
With his back against a wall, Nick did what he has always done best… he Beared Down.
Turning his teams’ misfortunes into a game that will only to the legend of Foles, the Bears came back to win in impressive fashion.
Well now with Nick showcasing his skills and his worth yet again, the savvy NFL veteran and former Super Bowl MVP will get the opportunity to start for the Bears in Week 4.
Making the rounds via social media on Monday afternoon, was that Chicago head coach Matt Nagy named Foles his starter moving forward.
Now granted, who knows how long his tenure will last in Chicago, nonetheless we are excited for Foles to once again an opportunity.
Through the 59 games he’s appeared in, Foles has completed 1,067 passes on 1,727 attempts (61.8 percent) with 12,089 yards passing and 74 touchdowns to just 36 interceptions.
While his numbers are not comparable to that of quarterback greats like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway, etc. however, he has proven himself to be a rather solid football player that constantly seems to be underrated.
It is unfortunate that things didn’t quite work out in Jacksonville, Kansas City or in St. Louis, but perhaps now is his time to shine once and for all!
Need a reminder of just how good he is, see what he did against Atlanta!
