How quickly we forget.
Welcome to St. Nick, the Sequel.
Even Hollywood would reject this script as being too far-fetched.
Almost a year to the week that Nick Foles walked onto the field of the L.A. Coliseum to save the Eagles season after Carson Wentz went down with a knee injury, jolly old St. Nick was at it again.
Foles was back under center last night in L.A. to face the high-flying Rams in a game that no one believed the Eagles had a prayer of winning.
They may not have had a prayer, but they may have had something better.
St. Nick.
Foles went 24 of 31 as the Eagles rediscovered receivers not named Zach Ertz to lead the Birds to a most improbably upset.
In the process he breathed new life into what was looking a near impossibility - that this Eagles team would get the opportunity to defend its lone Super Bowl title in the playoffs.
They are still a long shot. They need to win both of their final two games - starting next Sunday at the Linc vs. the Texans - and get some help.
But their chances look a lot brighter than they did Sunday morning.
And they have St. Nick to thank for it.
It's a Christmas miracle.
Another one.
