With two TDs already under his belt and — barring injury — four games in front of him, Nick Foles has a shot at setting the Eagles' rookie record for touchdown passes in a season.
He needs six to tie and seven to break the mark set by Donovan McNabb in his first season.
Below are all Eagles rookies — quarterbacks and non-QBs — who have thrown touchdowns passes for the Eagles under Reid:
| Player | Year | TD | TD Catches (Yds.) |
| Donovan McNabb | 1999 | 8 | Chad Lewis (5, 6, 11); Luther Broughton (3, 26), Duce Staley (3), Dameane Douglas (29), Torrance Small (63) |
| John Reaves | 1972 | 7 | Harold Jackson (20, 77), Po James (5), Harold Carmichael (5,10), Kent Kramer (16), Billy Walik (15) |
| Mike Boryla | 1974 | 5 | Charle Young (1, 7, 14), Harold Carmichael (3, 6) |
| Koy Detmer | 1998 | 5 | Jeff Graham (4, 16), Irving Fryar (26, 61), Freddie Solomon (7) |
| Scott Tinsley | 1987 | 3 | Mike Siano (13), Topper Clemons (13), Kevin Bowman (62) |
| A.J. Feeley | 2001 | 2 | Dameane Douglas (2, 24) |
| Nick Foles | 2012 | 2 | Riley Cooper (15), Jeremy Maclin (44) |
| Rick Arrington | 1970 | 1 | Lee Douggess (4) |
| Keith Byars | 1986 | 1 | Mike Quick (55) |
| Randall Cunningham | 1985 | 1 | Earnest Jackson (17) |

With the exception of Randall and McNabb, very undistinguished company. Nothing stat for a nothing season......— DelawareRiverRat- This stat just proves that historically, the Eagles haven't given rookie QBs a shot at playing. At least not very often. But if Foles breaks the record in 4 games, it will be quite an accomplishment. Especially with the way Brown is running the ball. He gets it in the end zone. Watching these guys is the only reason to watch the birds the rest of the way.— cletisvandam
- Some of the names bring back memories. Mike Boryla came into a Pro Bowl game and won it for the NFC.— P Even
- The history of the Eagles is kinda depressing. As bad as this season's been, none but those who were babies when Reid was hired thinks this is the worst team ever. There were some bad, bad football teams for a lot of years wearing Eagles green.
But hey, still better than being a Foulboys fan!— TongueWagger - Jurgensen had 5 in 1957....that ain't bad company.
— retzlaff - Once Obama said about PA "And it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," You can see how they treated Vick. I'm wonder if any good players will ever come to Philly.— fairfan63
- When you look at who McNabb was throwing to, it's a wonder he had ANY TD passes his rookie year.— dlivesay
- john reaves has 7 listed on him,however im only counting 6.can anyone explain this to me please?— arkdad212
- Because I forgot to type in Billy Walik ... And who could ever forget Billy Walik?
