Sanchez was 15-of-22 passing with 202 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as he led the Eagles to the win and now he’s responsible for keeping the team atop the NFC East standings until Foles comes back, which may not be until the first round of the playoffs, provided Sanchez can take this team to the postseason.
Foles has completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 2,163 yards and 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, a far cry from the 27:2 ratio he had in his breakout season last year.
