“We’re going for it.”
“You want Philly Philly?”
And the rest is history.

In footage released by Inside the NFL, Nick Foles actually suggests the play to Doug Pederson. It’s Super Bowl play I will tell my grandkids (…while passing down a much-treasured shirt to them) about was called by Big Dick Nick himself. It’s took big balls to suggest that play. And Nick Foles did exactly that, immortalizing himself forever in Philly sports history right up there next to Chase Utley, Dr. J, and the Broad Street Bullies.
