Chiefs, other NFL players send congratulations to Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was with the Chiefs for just one season, but clearly he made some good friends.
Foles, who was the Chiefs’ backup in 2016, went to the Eagles and was a backup until Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending injury late in the regular season. That made Philadelphia an underdog in each of its playoff games, including Super Bowl LII.
Not that it mattered.
Foles was the Super Bowl MVP after the Eagles beat the Patriots 41-33 on Sunday in Minneapolis. Foles’ former teammates in Kansas City, other NFL players and people around the country congratulated Foles on his remarkable achievement.
Nick Foles. Proud of you fam. @NFoles_9

So happy for Nick Foles. What a testimony. He’s going to do so much more than hold up the Super Bowl trophy by sharing his faith with millions.

Foles is proof that circumstances matter. How many players could have been great (in general or on a given day) if a few things in their career had broken differently? HE ALMOST RETIRED.

Nick Foles is going to make some @NFL team very very happy. Good luck Carson Wentz following up that act.
