Chad Morris: The story behind the "Philly Special" trick play in the Super Bowl

Chad Morris knew the play call as soon as he saw the quarterback move, and it brought back plenty of Clemson memories for Arkansas’ new head coach.

The Philadelphia Eagles stunned the football world, and the New England Patriots, during the Super Bowl earlier this month with a dazzling trick play that looked like it came straight out of the Chad Morris playbook. It has been dubbed the "Philly Special."

With 38 seconds remaining in the first half, the Eagles faced fourth and goal inside the two-yard line. Philadelphia lined up with tight ends Zach Ertz and Trey Burton and receiver Torrey Smith bunched on the left side.
