Tom Brady Addresses Rumors About Disliking Eagles Legend
**Tom Brady Reflects on Super Bowl Losses and Nick Foles Rivalry**
Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback with seven Super Bowl victories under his belt, could have potentially had 10 if it weren’t for his losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. While addressing fans’ claims about his feelings towards Eagles hero Nick Foles, Brady clarified his stance on the perceived rivalry.
Brady’s Super Bowl Legacy: Triumphs and Trials
During his illustrious career, Tom Brady secured seven Super Bowl titles, six with the New England Patriots under Bill Belichick and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, not all championship games ended in victory for Brady. He faced defeats in three Super Bowl matchups where his teams were favored to win.
The New York Giants, led by Eli Manning, toppled Brady’s Patriots twice. The third loss came against the Eagles in the memorable Super Bowl LII, famous for Jason Kelce’s stirring post-game speech.
Eagles’ Unforgettable Win Led by Nick Foles
In that season, the Eagles’ quarterback Carson Wentz delivered a near MVP-level performance before a severe injury sidelined him during the playoffs. Stepping in for Wentz, Nick Foles delivered an outstanding performance, throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns, guiding the Eagles to a historic Super Bowl victory over Brady’s Patriots.
This victory marked the Eagles’ first Super Bowl title, with Foles defying expectations as a career backup to claim victory against one of the NFL’s greats.

Brady has often faced jokes and commentary about his encounters with Foles, especially after Eagles fans suggested there might be lingering animosity. During his commentary on a recent NFL game for FOX, he humorously refuted these claims, proclaiming, “Don’t say that! People thought I hated Nick Foles for years!”
Revenge Opportunity and Record Against Foles
Brady had a chance to face Foles again in 2020 when Foles was with the Chicago Bears. Despite the Buccaneers’ high expectations, Foles led another strong performance, beating Brady once more. Astonishingly, these were the only two games Brady faced Foles, ending with a surprising 0-2 record.
Retirement and New Ventures
Both players retired from professional football after the 2022 season, with Foles ending his career as a backup for the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, Brady has transitioned into a new role as FOX’s top color commentator, drawing on his vast football experience to engage audiences nationwide.
