Nick Foles takes playful jab at Tom Brady after Eagles' dominant win over Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX
There are only two quarterbacks that probably cause Tom Brady to lose sleep at night.

There are only two quarterbacks that probably cause Tom Brady to lose sleep at night. As he mentioned during the broadcast of Super Bowl LIX, the pain of the Super Bowls that he lost takes up way more of his thoughts than the ridiculous seven that he ended up winning.
Those two quarterbacks are Eli Manning, who thwarted Brady twice, once putting an end to a perfect season, and the quarterback that will live in Philadelphia lore forever, Nick Foles.
Foles seized the opportunity to remind Brady of that Super Bowl loss after the Eagles won their team's second Super Bowl in franchise history.
Foles is absolutely right — Brady has been in attendance for both of the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins. Maybe Philly fans should start liking Brady instead of treating him as a hated villain (highly unlikely).
It was a dominant showing for the Eagles, who got out to a scorching start. The defense was the main talking point of the day, much like when Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat Mahomes in the Super Bowl in 2021. In that game, the Buccaneers defensive front brought just four pass rushers a majority of the time, banking on their ability to win individual battles. They did, pressuring Mahomes a Super Bowl-record 29 times. While the Eagles didn't get to 29, they pressured him 16 times on 42 dropbacks (38%), sacked him six times, forced two interceptions, and got a strip sack that they recovered, all without blitzing once. Mahomes is the second quarterback in Super Bowl history to take six sacks against four or fewer pass rushers, joining Cowboys' Roger Staubach in Super Bowl X against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Foles might not have had an incredible career, but much like a musical artist with a one-hit wonder that lives on forever, his Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady will forever be remembered in the collective minds of Eagles fans.
Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl gave the Buffalo Bills exactly the recipe for what it takes to beat the Kansas City Chiefs
The goal for the Buffalo Bills is to win the division first and foremost. It has to start there. The second goal after that is to be a team that can beat the best teams in the NFL. Until proven otherwise, the Chiefs will remain the mountain that they have to overcome in order to […]
