By Josh Liddick, Sports Talk Philly editor Nick Foles wins ESPY for Best Championship Performance

Nick Foles just keeps on winning.

Not only is the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback a Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP, but he's also the winner of an ESPY Award, given on Wednesday night for "Best Championship Performance" for his incredible role in leading the Birds to their first Super Bowl title in franchise history.

Foles gained prominence for his dominant Super Bowl performance after taking over for the Carson Wentz following his ACL tear in December. Foles went on an absolute tear in the final two games of the season, leading the Eagles past the Vikings 38-7 in the NFC Championship Game and then going 28-for-43 with 373 yards, three passing touchdowns, and a receiving touchdown.

Foles also was the one that called the now infamous Philly Special, which was also nominated for an ESPY for "Best Play."
