Watch as quarterback Nick Foles hauls in a TD after the Philadelphia Eagles use a trick play right before halftime.
With 34 seconds left on the clock, and the ball at fourth and goal, most teams would take the easy field goal.
But the Philadelphia Eagles aren’t most teams.
In what is now being called one of the greatest plays in NFL history, the Eagles scored a touchdown caught by quarterback Nick Foles.
Naturally, everyone on the internet lost their minds. Here are some of the best reactions.
Nick Foles is the first player in NFL history to throw and catch a touchdown in the Super Bowl#SBLII

The Eagles have to score as much as they can now because the Pats, like Winter in Game Of Thrones, are “coming”. #SuperBowl

As a receiver: Nick Foles > Tom Brady.

Nick Foles does what Tom Brady could not: Catch the ball.
Eagles 22, Patriots 12

I have no idea if the Eagles are going to win this game, but Doug Pederson is definitely winning Twitter right now

That was probably the greatest single play-call/execution in Super Bowl history. Just absolute football wizardry.
