Chris Long did his best Pedro Cerrano impression and built a shrine in his locker. Only his shrine wasn’t dedicated to Jobu, but rather teammate Nick Foles.
In the top shelf of his locker, Long has a photo of Foles with the Los Angeles Rams. Next to that is Foles’ book “Believe It”, which came after he helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl. And just like any proper shrine, it is adorned with plenty of candles, including some religious ones.

“It’s good energy for Nick Foles,” Chris Long said.

Fletcher Cox even lit one of the candles in the Foles shrine:

For the second year in a row, the Eagles will be asking big things from Foles. He has stepped in for the injured Carson Wentz and already led the team to a surprising road victory over the Rams. Next up will be the Houston Texans at home on Sunday. The 7-7 Eagles need to keep winning to increase their playoff chances. With Foles working his magic, anything can happen.
