Injured quarterback Carson Wentz was emotional in the locker room after his Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 52 with back up Nick Foles quarterback.

The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 52, beating the New England Patriots in a thrilling barn-burner of a game. It was a bittersweet moment for Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.

In Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, Wentz suffered a torn ACL that ended his season. Backup quarterback Nick Foles took the reins and led the team through the remaining weeks of the season and a Super Bowl victory.

Wentz was having an MVP-caliber season and missed out on capping it out with a Super Bowl win, and Sports Illustrated caught an emotional Wentz in the locker room after the win.

Now, it’s safe to assume these are tears of joy. Wentz was a consummate professional supporting Foles and the rest of his teammates on their championship quest.

“My bro is gonna shine bright tonight!” Wentz tweeted earlier in the day. “So excited to see him & this team go out and compete tonight. Been through it all this year as a team, & yet, here we are! WE ALL WE GOT. WE ALL WE NEED. God’s writing an unbelievable story and he’s getting all the glory!”
