It’s been a long time since Super Bowl 52 for Nick Foles. The Super Bowl Champion quarterback hasn’t met that mark he hit in February 2018 in Minnesota, and he surely didn’t on Monday night.
Foles and the Indianapolis Colts hosted the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. The Colts on primetime yet again, laid an egg and lost 20-3 to the Chargers, who clinched a playoff berth with the victory.
He would perform poorly in the dreadful Colts loss. The Colts QB threw for no touchdowns, completed 17 of 29 passes for only 143 yards, and threw three interceptions.
As such, the quarterback was ripped on Twitter relentlessly throughout the game and after.
Former kicker Lawerence Tynes got in on it as he tweeted, “Foles just ran a play action to an invisible back then threw an INT into double coverage. Save some of that for Sunday.”
After the game ended, Pat McAfee tweeted, “I’m not sure Nick Foles is the answer long term.” I wonder why…
Earlier in the night, YouTuber Jake Ellenbogen tweeted, “Nick Foles is actually terrible why did he ever start this game?”
NFL Memes later reminded us that, yes, Nick Foles is a Super Bowl Champion.

Former sportscaster Trey Wingo would tweet, “The Nick Foles is awesome In Philadelphia and terrible everywhere else is the NFL storyline over the last 10 seasons that is simply unexplainable.” Fact Check: True.
Elsewhere, earlier in the game, The Philly Voice’s Shamus Clancy tweeted, “*Foles does anything* That’s such a Foles play.”
Finally, writer Kevin Van Valkenburg tweeted, “Foles’ perfect game in the Super Bowl against the Pats, in retrospect, feels like one of the most out-of-body, unlikely heaters in the history of the NFL. Like John Unitas Quantum Leaped into his body, then left just as the confetti fell.”
