A bust of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles may or may not wind up residing in Canton, Ohio one day that much will likely not be known for decades.
However, After throwing seven touchdowns Sunday against the Oakland Raiders tying the NFL single game record, the Eagles have sent pieces of Foles' game-worn gear to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio.
The memorabilia will be displayed in the museum adjacent to the hallowed Hall of Fame busts.
Eagles equipment manager Greg Delimitros handled the Hall's request and sent off a package Tuesday that included the football thrown on Foles' record setting seventh touchdown pass, his cleats and the white number nine jersey the 24-year old wore at O.co Coliseum.
“For our team, for that game, it’s pretty special,” Foles said. “It’s a great honor. Like I said before, when I reflect on that stuff, I think about the guys I did it with. That’s what’s most special to me, the memories I made with them. Seeing everybody really happy, having the time to throw it, the receivers downfield making tremendous plays, running after the catch, all the stuff that went together — the defense getting the ball back — that’s what I think about.”
Foles threw seven touchdown passes, tying the NFL record set in 1954 by the Eagles’ Adrian Burk and matched by five others since.
The second-year University of Arizona product became only the third quarterback in NFL history with seven TD passes and no interceptions in a game. He also finished the game with more touchdown passes than incompletions.
Foles' performance was so dominant against the Raiders that he threw more touchdowns in 40:26 of game time than the Jacksonville Jaguars have all season.
