Eagles' Nick Foles Called His Own Number on Super Bowl LII Touchdown Catch

It appears Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles made the call to become a wide receiver late in the first half of Sunday's championship game against the New England Patriots.

On Tuesday afternoon, Showtime's Inside the NFL shared a video of Eagles head coach Doug Pederson informing Foles and his coaches Philadelphia was going for a touchdown from the New England 1-yard line with 38 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

Foles responded by asking if Pederson wanted to run what Foles then called the "Philly Special" in the huddle.

Running back Corey Clement took a direct snap before pitching the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who threw a perfect pass to Foles in the end zone. It increased Philadelphia's lead to 22-12 following the extra point.

Twitter exploded following the play, and one passionate fan evidently honored the score with a unique tattoo:

Philly, Philly!
