“You want Philly Philly?”
ESPN is taking fans back to one of the most iconic moments in Philadelphia sports history.
The network announced it will debut a new 30 for 30 documentary centered on the “Philly Special,” the legendary trick play that helped propel the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl LII. The special premieres Friday, February 6 at 9 PM, shining a spotlight on the call, the confidence behind it, and the people who made it unforgettable.
The documentary will feature in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes insight from key figures of the 2017 championship run, including head coach Doug Pederson, Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, and emotional leader Jason Kelce, along with several other members of the Super Bowl LII champion Eagles. Viewers can expect never-before-told stories about how the play was conceived, why Pederson trusted his players in that moment, and how the call symbolized the fearless identity of that team.
The Philly Special has become a defining moment in NFL history and a permanent part of Philadelphia sports lore. For Eagles fans, this 30 for 30 promises to be a must-watch reminder of the night belief and boldness finally delivered a Super Bowl championship to the city.
