Nick Foles stars as Philadelphia Eagles crush Oakland Raiders

Foles stars as Eagles crush Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has set a new franchise record for touchdown passes thrown, setting up seven scores in a 49-13 rout over the Oakland Raiders in the NFL.

Foles wasted little time in finding a receiver in the end zone, picking out Brent Celek for the opening score midway through the first quarter.

Riley Cooper scored the first of his three touchdowns early in the second quarter, before Philadelphia took complete control as Cooper caught a 63-yard pass from Foles.

Rashad Jennings responded with Oakland's sole touchdown soon after to reduce the deficit, but Zach Ertz soon replied for the Eagles with their fourth score of the first half.

Foles continued to shine after the break as he finished with over 400 yards to match his seven touchdowns, finding LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Cooper as the Eagles secured their fourth win of the campaign in some style.
