Philadelphia Eagles safety Jalen Mills answers a troll of Nick Foles

Even if they no longer share the same field, the bond that exists between the Philadelphia Eagles who won Super Bowl 52 still exists. Just ask Jalen Mills.

Chemistry is often one of the most forgotten keys to building a winner in the NFL. Why? Well, it’s difficult to answer that, but here’s a theory. With the way that Fantasy football has skyrocketed over the past ten years and judging by how successful Pro Football Focus has been, it’s safe to say that we’re obsessed with numbers. Chemistry doesn’t have a stat. As Philadelphia Eagles fans, we just see it when Nick Foles steps onto the field or when Jalen Mills returns from injury.

Oh, you have your doubts? Explain why the guys around them just respond when they show up. Mills picked up the Eagles defense emotionally when he returned from the injured reserve a season ago, and in the case of Foles, he may be gone but the guys on Philly’s roster that were present in 2017 and 2018 don’t love him any less.

Just take a look at what TJ Lang said recently and what the “Green Goblin” said in his response.

Take that Mr. Lang. You see ladies and gentlemen, the controversy about how good quarterbacks are is a component that exists in several fan bases, not just the one in Philadelphia. Mention Cam Newton, and the world goes bananas. Some love him. Others don’t. The analysis of how good he is at playing the quarterback position seems to be all over the place.

Some think he’s great. Some cry overrated, but the facts are the facts. The Carolina Panthers allowed Newton to seek a trade when the free-agency period began. No one pulled the trigger. The Chicago Bears needed a signal-caller. They wanted Nick Foles, and they went out and made that happen.

Mills is right. Foles won a Super Bowl in what might go down as his only appearance in one. Newton is remembered for his hesitance to jump on a fumble and for being the only losing quarterback in Super Bowl history to storm off during the post-game interview. Aquib Talib later referred to Newton’s hesitance in a game-changing moment as “tapping out”.

Time marches on, and it appears that Cam Newton’s appearance in Super Bowl 50 may be his lone appearance as well.

Say what you want about Foles and who you believe Chicago should have called. One thing we all know is this. “Saint Nick” would have jumped on that fumble. That’s why his teammates love him. That’s why he’s a Super Bowl MVP. That’s why every Eagle that ever played with him, Mills included, loves him to this day. That’s all that needs to be said about that.
