Late in the second quarter, the Philly QB caught a 1-yard TD from Trey Burton on fourth-and-goal after a bit of trickeration.
The play was ruled legal — although there was some question on Twitter about the formation — and resulted in a 10-point Eagles lead.
“We had just gotten all the way down the field and I wasn’t going to let the offense stop at the 1-yard line. It was a play we were working on the past couple weeks. Our guys executed brilliantly,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson told NBC’s Michele Tafoya at halftime.

MARVEZ: Burton’s skill set would have served Pats well
Minutes before Foles’ TD, Tom Brady attempted a catch of his own, but it just missed his hands.
But the play wasn’t a spur of the moment thing. Eagles OC Frank Reich confirmed the play has been in the works for some time now.
Hey, another flashback:
Beating the Patriots at their own game. Kind of.
