On Sunday, Tom Brady and Nick Foles were present at Lincoln Financial Field, watching the NFC Championship Game between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles. In a nostalgic moment during the fourth quarter, Brady recalled their previous encounter as opposing quarterbacks in Super Bowl LII.
As Fox returned from a commercial break, cameras focused on Nick Foles in a luxury box, prompting play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt to playfully remind viewers of Foles’ achievement.
“Nick Foles in the building,” Burkhardt exclaimed. “Super Bowl MVP that led to that Super Bowl win. Who did he play in that game? Do you know who he played that game?”
Brady chimed in, “Nick, I don’t hate you. I’m just jealous of you. You caught it, I didn’t.”

For those needing a refresher, Foles and the Eagles triumphed over Brady and the New England Patriots 41-33, aided by clever trick plays. In the second quarter, the Patriots executed a play where Brady handed off to James White, who lateraled to Danny Amendola, who then threw a long pass back to Brady, who failed to make the catch. Later in the quarter, facing a critical fourth-and-goal, the Eagles attempted a similar setup with Foles catching a touchdown pass from Trey Burton in a play that became famously known as the “Philly Special.”
It seems that time indeed heals all wounds.
