Philly Special

Uncommon card · No. 149409

The Philly Special, also known as Philly Philly, was an American football trick play between Philadelphia Eagles players Corey Clement, Trey Burton, and Nick Foles on fourth-down-and-goal toward the end of the second quarter of Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. On the play, quarterback Nick Foles moved up behind his offensive line, and Jason Kelce snapped the ball directly to running back Corey Clement. Clement pitched the ball to Trey Burton who passed it to a wide open Foles for a touchdown. Foles became the first player in Super Bowl history to throw and catch a touchdown pass during a Super Bowl game. Eagles coach Doug Pederson's decision to attempt a touchdown rather than a field goal on the play helped put the Eagles in a better position to defeat the New England Patriots, which they did, 41–33. The victory was the Eagles' first championship in 57 years. Many analysts have since called the play one of the gutsiest play-calls in Super Bowl history...
