Interesting point. Pederson wanted to try that play the week before against Minnesota when the Eagles were crushing them in the NFC Championship Game. Foles told him "no" and that they may need it at a later time. You didn't need to run a trick play with a huge lead against Minnesota, so they saved it for the Patriots.

[@FinalQueue007]

The pause by Doug Pederson is what made this so much better. The hesitation and then accepting to trust your QB. This play always come into my mind at least once a month now

[@jameshoran8]

The pause by Pederson was because it wasn't on his play sheet that day and Pederson had told referee Gene Steratore prior to the game that he planned on no trick plays being run. Steratore asked him post game why he told him no trick plays. I didn't call the play. Nick did.

Lets never use use our running back, and when we do use our running back, it'll only be when our throwing isn't working so it's obvious to the defense what we're gonna do.

No second guesses, as if they run it all the time. Makes you realize how much practice and preparation goes into it all.

[@go3flea]

This is what Doug didn’t get enough credit for. He may have not made the call but he is the reason it went off silky smooth. Pederson not only kept the play in the book but actually made it a priority to PRACTICE it and other rare plays like Hail Marys over and over. Normally these kinds of plays only see light _maybe_ once a season so teams rarely ever practice them but Pederson made them practice it to perfection.

That play was all about foles selling the idea of the “non engaged qb trying to not get hurt”. When you stand still as a qb, you can’t be engaged with by a defense. So once he saw that defender move to the inside, he took off and that’s why he was wide open

[@tomhafner60]

This play was NOT an illegal formation. Alshon clearly points to the line judge to verify he is legal 5 seconds before the snap. Illegal formation is a judgement call and if the line judge clears him its 100% legal. You don't see the line judge approve but the fact that Alshon does not move afterwards tells you all you need to know. You normally get 1-1 1/2 yards off the ball to be considered on the LOS.

[@acbboardz4561]

I’m an eagles fan so this is easily my favorite play ever! 😂

[@poingtevydolan4801]

Who is here in 2025, Nick Foles is retired, and Doug Pederson is fired from the Eagles and Jaguars?

[@johngonzalez4298]

Patriot fans complained about this kind of play lol

[@XenanKayriRedFrost]

What did they say? btw i dont know why this play is superiorly amazing i want to know why it is. i've never watched football :v

[@johngonzalez4298]

@@XenanKayriRedFrost This was during the Super Bowl back in February of 2018 and this was a trick play that ended up benefiting the Eagles which lead them to win the Super Bowl. On the other hand, the Patriots tried a similar play but failed when Tom Brady couldn't catch the ball when they were on 4th down in the previous possession. The Patriots fans were questioning if the Philly Philly play was legal. The Patriots are notorious for cheating but they complained that there wasn't enough players on the line of scrimmage for the Eagles team when the play was being used during the game. Some analysts say they were lined up and others say they were not lined up. In the end, the Eagles still won the Super Bowl. Lastly, I'll add that Tom Brady never shakes the hands of the winning Quarterback when he loses in the Super Bowl.

After all them calls they be getting they don't need to be complaining bout shit

[@nickkosavvy8225]

Fuck dem

[@kevinpineda8885]

Nicholas Johnson you really do love to hate on the patriots

[@ishmael802]

As a non-football fan this play is so sneaky it’s awesome to see.

[@BIGCHRISRC]

Greatest single play in Eagles history 💯

[@musculusiv4172]

I'm shocked at how un-hyped the commentators reacted to this play

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

What are you talking about they went crazy

[@AlonsoRules]

the guy who threw to Foles is better than all the Browns QB's since 1999

[@tyrodtaylor4405]

People always forget about Tim Couch

[@thechocolatedonut7216]

Isn’t there only 6 people on the line of scrimmage? I’m still wondering why this counted, if anyone could defend it please do.

[@bruno733]

He was backed up enough

[@bruno733]

Only five

[@thechocolatedonut7216]

@@bruno733 yeah and you need Atleast 7, what a way to be memorable isn’t it.

[@COLETHORN10]

Where else do you have a team that sent packing the guy that almost single handedly won them their first Super Bowl, but that team still has a statue of that player asking his coach to approve his play call. A play that this coach almost completely forgot about. Philly will never forget Nick Foles...............EVER !!!!!!!!!

[@dpacelli2324]

Best thing about this play is you only Focus on Foles and when the play happened live no one focused on him. Just brilliant and still brilliant.

Foles: " Too easy! Kill Kill!! Lane Lane!!!"

[@thebigfellacole3757]

I was listening to this on the radio and heard “Trey Burton throws, Foles touchdown!” I thought the announcer had it backwards lol. Saw the play on Instagram a few hours after and instantly remembered hearing it and now knowing the call was correct

[@veloaim]

I like how everyone calling this good play calling by Doug Peterson when it’s just frank reich

[@jakegetscake4672]

Frank reich was the brains of this offense. Doug’s showing he’s a terrible play caller these last two years

[@denniscatanese4846]

I'll give the credit to Foles for the call.

[@yabarber9285]

Foles called the play

[@veloaim]

@@yabarber9285 yes but he doesn't call every play, that is the offensive coordinators job

[@joegoodman9232]

Eagle ingenuity! Cool and slick , Nicky and " Do it Doug." "Just like a song by ABBA, Well done, and The Best of the Best!"

[@michaeljohnson42069]

Legendary

[@jaggar]

I love the mic picks up Foles say Philly Special in the huddle. I bet there was someone who heard that in real time and was like what’s Philly Special.
