Philadelphia Eagles fans were incredibly down on Sunday night with the reports that MVP-candidate Carson Wentz could be lost for the season.
Nick Foles stepped out of the backup role and helped the Birds to a victory that clinched the NFC East championship for the Birds.
Despite Foles stepping in to help the Eagles earn the win, the Philly fanbase is not sold on the former starter being able to fill Wentz's shoes.
One guy who does vouch for Foles, however, is his former teammate and perhaps the greatest running back in Eagles history, Shady McCoy.
"I played with nick he is a true baller [sic]," LeSean tweeted.
Here's a video of Wentz walking back to the locker room as well as footage of him heading out from the stadium.
