6 other NFL QBs who have done it, with names like Peyton Manning, Y.A. Tittle and Sid Luckman, among others.
1 other Eagles QB to do it, that would be Adrian Burke.
6 incompletions on the day for Foles. He threw 1 more touchdown than he did incompletions.

9 NFL starts for Foles.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan
After that outing vs. the Cowboys, I wondered if Nick Foles could play in the NFL. I think he answered that question yesterday.
I Don’t Get It: Which is the real Nick Foles, the guy who looked lost vs. the Cowboys, or the guy who looked like he was ready for Canton yesterday in Oakland.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Nick Foles. Seven quarterbacks have thrown 7 TD passes in an NFL game. Peyton Manning is one of them. So is Nick Foles.
