If there’s one thing that stuck out to me while watching Super Bowl LII it was the amount of times that play action was used by both offenses. I mentioned this during the Monday podcast and come to find out, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles attempted 21 play-action passes Sunday night and that was the most ever in Super Bowl history, according to the ESPN Stats and Info Twitter account, Foles, by the way, was 12-of-21 for 118 yards and a touchdown when using play-action against the New England Patriots and he reportedly completed 72% of his play-action pass attempts during the Eagles postseason run.
While Effective When Using It, Roethlisberger Didn’t Utilize Play-Action Much In 2017
