Nicholas Edward Foles is an American football quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL).

Initially a backup, Foles was named the team's starter midway through his rookie season. He maintained his starting position through 2013, during which he set the NFL season record for the best touchdown–interception ratio and posted a perfect passer rating in a game. His success led the Eagles to a division title, while also earning him Pro Bowl honors. After an unsuccessful 2014 season, Foles was traded to the St. Louis Rams, where he was released after struggling in his one season. He spent the following year as a backup for the Kansas City Chiefs.
