<Tr> <Th> Network </Th> <Td> NBC </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Announcers </Th> <Td> Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, and Michele Tafoya </Td> </Tr> <P> 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 . On the play, quarterback Foles moved up to behind his offensive line and the ball was directly snapped to running back Clement . Clement went on to pitch the ball to Burton, who passed the ball to a wide open Foles to score a touchdown; Foles thereby became the first player in Super Bowl history to both throw and catch a touchdown . Eagles coach Doug Pederson's decision to attempt to score a touchdown rather than attempt a field goal on the play helped put the Eagles in a better position to defeat the New England Patriots, which they subsequently 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 . </P> <P> It was described by NFL Films as "a play that the Eagles had never called before, run on 4th down by an undrafted rookie running back pitching the football to a third - string tight end who had never attempted an NFL pass before, throwing to a backup quarterback who had never caught an NFL (or college) pass before, (pulled off) on the biggest stage for football ." </P>
