Foles replaced the injured Smith in the Chiefs' Week 8 30-14 win over the Colts. Foles was an impressive 16-22 with 223 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
It will not be Foles' first start for Reid. During Reid's final draft as head coach of the Eagles in 2012, he selected Foles with the 88th overall pick.

Foles started the final six games of his rookie season for the Eagles, going 1-5 with five touchdowns and just two interceptions while throwing for 1,480 yards. Reid was then fired and then Foles put together his unforgettable 27 touchdowns to two interception season under Chip Kelly.
Foles was traded to the Rams before the 2015 season and was released and signed by the Chiefs before the start of this season.
