OAKLAND, Calif.
Zac Stacy Jersey . -- Nick Foles didnt know
he had etched his name in NFL history until after he came out of the game. That
must have been because he was too busy shredding the Oakland Raiders defence to
keep up with his impressive statistics. Foles tied an NFL mark with seven
touchdown passes and threw for 406 yards to revitalize Philadelphias struggling
offence in the Eagles 49-20 victory over the Raiders on Sunday. "A couple people
came up to me and said that I tied the record with seven touchdowns," Foles
said. "Its a great honour. Hats off to our guys for doing a great job." The
backup quarterback connected three times with Riley Cooper to become the seventh
passer in NFL history with seven TD tosses in a game. Peyton Manning did it for
Denver on opening night this season against Baltimore. Foles also threw scoring
passes to Brent Celek, Zach Ertz, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson as the Eagles
(4-5) looked nothing like the offence that failed to score a touchdown in each
of the past two weeks. "Every defence the past couple of weeks has been stopping
us," McCoy said. "So today we were kind of feeling bottled up and we released
everything. Its tough when youre not winning and youre not putting points up."
The Raiders (3-5) had appeared much improved on defence in recent weeks but were
completely flummoxed by coach Chip Kellys spread offence that stalled recently
after a fast debut in the NFL. Foles completed 22 of 28 passes as he frequently
exploited mismatches and blown coverages, starting with a 42-yard quick pass to
Cooper on the opening drive when the Raiders had two defenders trying to match
up with three receivers. McCoy took a short pass and ran 25 yards untouched for
his score in the third quarter and Jackson raced past Mike Jenkins on his
46-yard touchdown later in the third. Foles then tied the record with a 5-yard
pass to Cooper with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter, matching the mark also
held by Sid Luckman, Adrian Burk, George Blanda, Y.A. Tittle and Joe Kapp. Burk
did it for the Eagles in 1954 against Washington. With more than a quarter to go
to break the record, Foles was unable to get the Eagles back into the end zone
on the next two drives before being replaced by Matt Barkley. "I know what the
record is," Kelly said. "But this isnt about records, its about going out and
getting a win. If I put Nick out there to try to get a record and he gets hurt,
thats being silly. Records are meant to broken when theyre supposed to be
broken." That was about all Foles couldnt do in his first game since being held
to 80 yards on 29 passes before leaving with a concussion two weeks ago against
Dallas. Foles only got another shot this week because regular starter
Michael Vick reinjured his hamstring in a loss to the New York Giants last week.
But now, it will be tough to take out Foles, who has 13 touchdown passes and no
interceptions this season. "Everybody started acting like his career was over
after that Dallas game but they forgot that he had played some good football
before that," centre Jason Kelce said. "A lot of that criticism will probably be
halted for at least one week." So too will the critiques of how Kellys offence
will translate to the NFL. Viewed as revolutionary when the Eagles gained 322
yards in the first half of the season opener against Washington, the offence had
been held to 478 yards and one field goal the past two weeks before breaking
through against the Raiders. Foles repeatedly targeted rookie cornerback D.J.
Hayden as he led the Eagles to touchdowns on their first four drives for the
first time in three years. Hayden was beaten on successive plays by Cooper for a
17-yard completion and 63-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. "When a
quarterback has seven touchdowns, we have to sit there and take that personal,"
cornerback Tracy Porter said. "We cant give a guy seven touchdowns in a game,
let alone put up 49 points on us. It was flat-out embarrassing that we allowed
that to happen." The Raiders couldnt keep up with Philadelphias torrid scoring
pace despite gaining 560 yards -- their third-most ever and most since 1968.
They had one first-quarter drive stall in the red zone for a field goal and then
couldnt play catch-up in the second half when the Eagles turned a 28-13 halftime
lead into a blowout. Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor threw for 288 yards and
ran for 94 more, but also had two interceptions and took two sacks in a shaky
performance. He left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury that he
does not believe is serious. "Its embarrassing," Pryor said. "I hate losing. Its
not acceptable to me and I dont like it. All the guys in here agree with me. We
have to do something about it instead of tanking it." NOTES: The 49 points for
the Eagles were their most since beating Washington 59-28 in 2010. ... Oakland
RB Darren McFadden left in the first half after re-aggravating a hamstring
injury that kept him out of one game already this season.

misconduct by the English Football Association for his comments about match
officials after a loss to Sunderland in the League Cup. Following the 2-1 defeat
in the first leg of the semifinals on Tuesday, Moyes criticized referee Andre
Marriner and his assistants for their "terrible" decisions in the build-up of
Ryan Giggs own goal and a penalty winner by Fabio Borini. Moyes added his team
waas "playing referees as well as the opposition.
Matt Forte Jets Jersey. " The Scot, who is
under pressure after the Red Devils started 2014 by losing three games in a row
for the first time since the 2000-01 season, has until Jan. 15 to respond to the
charge. It is unlikely that Moyes will be handed a suspension for his comments
as Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was fined 8,000 pounds ($13,000) and
received a warning after admitting to a similar charge.
