Since helping guide the Philadelphia Eagles to a win in Super Bowl 52 over the New England Patriots, quarterback Nick Foles has endeared himself greatly to fans of the organization. He has garnered much support and appreciation from many that have placed him in high esteem in franchise lore.
With that in mind, there has been a unique gesture thrown his way in Zoo New England's Franklin Park Zoo in Boston that saw one of the goats named Foles in honor of the Eagles quarterback, according to ABC 6 News in Philadelphia.
But if you visit Zoo New England's Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, you can now meet a Foles who truly is a goat. Not an acronym this time.
It is a special gesture that references Foles as being what the acronym of G.O.A.T. stands for in “greatest of all time,” which is something Eagles fans have tossed around greatly toward him because he led the franchise to the promise. The 29-year-old may not be recognized with that prestigious title, but it does go to show the great amount of appreciation for what he accomplished on the field by a Zoo located in the losing team's town.
Foles was remarkable in the playoffs in place of Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Wentz as he led the Eagles as he threw for 971 yards on a 72.6 percent completion rate with six touchdown passes and an interception while holding a 115.7 passer rating in three postseason games. He also recorded more than 240 passing yards and held a passer rating above 100 in each contest.
This was all topped off by his impressive performance in the Super Bowl where he completed 28 of 43 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns that earned him the Super Bowl MVP award. Regardless of what Foles accomplishes from this point forward in his career, he can always hang his hat on leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl win.
