'Philly Special' had Morris' fingerprints

FAYETTEVILLE — The play that likely will define Super Bowl LII has been linked to two men with Arkansas ties, including first-year Razorbacks head coach Chad Morris.

Trey Burton's fourth-and-1 touchdown pass to quarterback Nick Foles late in the second quarter of the Eagles' 41-33 win over the Patriots is being hailed "Philly Special," but a year before the Eagles pulled out the play on football's biggest stage, the Bears had run the play in the same end zone of the same stadium.

During that game - the 2016 regular season finale - Chicago quarterback Matt Barkley appeared to audible near the right side of the offensive line.
