The 2018 Super Bowl remains one of the most spectacular in recent memory as a team of underdogs overcame one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history to claim the Vince Lombardi Trophy. But it is one moment in particular that makes the story even more fascinating. Towards the end of the second quarter, the Eagles perfectly executed a trick play that has transcended football and become part of Philadelphia’s cultural identity.
The play itself saw quarterback Nick Foles move up behind his offensive line and Jason Kelce snap the ball directly to running back Corey Clement. Clement then pitched the ball to Trey Burton, who passed it to a wide-open Foles for a touchdown. It’s since been utilized by teams across America, but this one instance lives long in the memory.
In the feature, that quartet of players recall the play and provide a unique insight into how it materialized. Doug Pederson, the head coach who called the Philly Special, also recounts the moment it was executed and became part of Philly folklore.
