The Philadelphia Eagles were led to victory on Sunday by Mark Sanchez, but the players in the huddle had no clue he was even in the game.
When Nick Foles went down with what is now being called a broken collarbone, the Eagles didn’t really know what was next. Mark Sanchez is what was next, even his players in the huddle had no idea what was going on.

LeSean McCoy went on The Dan Patrick Show Monday morning to talk about the big win in Houston and the effect of losing Nick Foles. McCoy’s initial response was that there was no effect as he nor the other Eagles players didn’t even realize that Mark Sanchez was in the huddle until the looked up and saw him with their own eyes.
"I'm in the huddle looking for Nick and I see Sanchez...I said 'where's Nick at?'." -LeSean McCoy on not knowing that Foles was injured.

This is a hilarious story that only goes to show how much of an underdog Sanchez is. But what it truly highlights is how tight Chip Kelly’s system really is. All of the haters who wanted to see him fail in the NFL for daring to change things up, have to admit they we’re wrong.
Proof that Chip Kelly’s system is brilliant is that even Mark Sanchez can come in and win a game.
