Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson and backup quarterback Nick Foles had to pull out all the stops to defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Foles rose to the occasion on the field and Pederson pulled some masterful coaching moves off to guide the Eagles to the 41-33 win over the Patriots. 

On a key fourth and one play at the one-yard line in the second quarter, Pederson decided to go for it and Foles became the first quarterback to ever catch a pass in the Super Bowl. Foles would throw a pass on another fourth down conversion late in the fourth quarter that extended the drive and allowed Philadelphia to go up by six. 

Overall, he finished 28-43 for 373 yards and three touchdowns on the way to being named Super Bowl MVP. Pederson won a Super Bowl in just his second season as Eagles head coach. 

Foles played a big role in saving Philadelphia's season once starter Carson Wentz went down with an injury in Week 14. In the postseason, he threw for 971 yards and six touchdowns against only one interception. 

Foles was originally drafted by the Eagles and had his best season in 2013, when he started ten games and passed for 2,891 yards, 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions. He went on to play for the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs before returning to the franchise this offseason.

Pederson was a backup quarterback in the NFL for 14 years before getting into coaching on the high school a little over ten years ago. He joined the Eagles staff in quality control in 2009. 

After spending two seasons as the quarterbacks coach, Pederson became the offensive coordinator with the Chiefs for three seasons. He is just the fourth person to win a Super Bowl as a player and coach.
