From the Philadelphia Inquirer: 

"Our guys are getting open," Foles said. "I've just got to hit them. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it needs to be where they can go and make a play."

Earlier in the week, Foles said he knows how to fix what went wrong against the 49ers and would spend the week working on it. On the season, he has completed 57.8 percent of his passes for 1,173 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions.
