Viral tweet informs the world of former Westlake QBs, now MVP NFL QBs' history

The Saints' Drew Brees and the Eagles' Nick Foles from Westlake HS to the NFL set to meet again with even greater credibility.

AUSTIN — A first in NFL history will occur in New Orleans Sunday afternoon when Drew Brees and Nick Foles square off in an NFC divisional playoff game. It will be the second time the two quarterbacks from Westlake High School and their franchises will meet in a postseason game, but Saturday will be a tad different.

Foles joined the Super Bowl MVP fraternity after guiding the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship last season. The same fraternity Brees joined after guiding the Saints to a Super Bowl title in 2010.

For the first time in NFL history, two Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks from the same high school will meet in a playoff game.
