Who says nothing good happens on Twitter?
After Eagles fans were upset about low ratings for many of the team's players, including Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, the team's official Twitter account made an appeal to the makers of the game to adjust their ratings.
Some on Twitter noticed that Foles' catch rating was a paltry 32 while New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's catch rating was a 39. Perhaps you watched Super Bowl LII in which Brady DROPPED A PASS while Foles caught a TOUCHDOWN that will go down as one of the greatest plays in Philly sports history.

Here's the Eagles initial appeal to EA Sports:

Gonna have to change @NickFoles' catch rating, @EAMaddenNFL. 32 just isn't special enough.#FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/VfcctYoZH3— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 13, 2018
EA then put the play under review:

What does this mean? Probably not much but it is another small victory for Nick Foles - a man already known for his winning.
