The good news for all superstitious New England fans out there is that Nick Foles, Trey Burton, and Corey Clement – the three primary components of the infamous “Philly Special” play – won’t be on the field this Sunday when the Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LII. Foles now plays for the Jaguars, Burton plays for the Bears, and Clement is on injured reserve (he’s still with the Eagles).
In fact, Philadelphia probably is going to look like a very different team from the version New England last saw two years ago.
