Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has revealed that he made a concerted effort in the off-season to learn how to make smarter decisions.
Foles has thrown 16 touchdowns this season but has thrown zero interceptions to help his side maintain the possession of the football, which has guided them to the top of the NFC East.
"I think the big thing this off-season that I really wanted to work on was decision making and being smart with the football," Foles told CSNPhilly.com.
"Because you watch a lot of the guys who are the top guys in this league, Peyton, Drew [Brees], Aaron [Rodgers], some great guys out there, Tom [Brady], that are really good at decision making.
"They will take shots when they can, but if they have something open short they are going to take it and they are smart with the football, and you don't want to put the football in harm's way because if the other team gets an interception or fumble, not only is that their ball but, it's different than a punt. It's a momentum change."
The Eagles are 6-5 in their season following their victory over the Washington Redskins in week 11.
