Kyle Van Noy credited the ‘dumb Philly special’ for his flag against the Bills

How did Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy feel about the 15-yard penalty he got during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 16-10 win against the Bills?

He takes responsibility, but thought the “dumb Philly special” was happening.

“I mean, when you’ve been hit with that dumb Philly Special, that’s an everlasting thought in your mind,” he said. The AFC defensive player of the week is referring to Super Bowl LII against the Eagles, in which Eagles QB Nick Foles called a trick play on the 1-yard line that resulted in a touchdown. He thought Bills’ quarterback Matt Barkley was also calling a trick play.
