PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Nearly a year ago, Nick Foles was beating up on the Patriots' poor defense en route to a Super Bowl 52 win. But there's no hard feelings.
In fact, the Patriots even thanked Foles on Sunday.
Foles worked his wizardry, dismantling the Texans' defense for a franchise-record 471 yards and four touchdowns in the Eagles' win.

The Texans dropped down to the three-seed.
