Frank Reich explains how he sneakily trolled the Patriots in Colts’ win

When Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich stepped up to the podium after his team’s 27-17 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, he demanded $20 from a reporter.

Why?

It was all in good fun. The reporter had bet $20 among media members that the Colts wouldn’t score on a Philly Special, a play made famous in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LII win over the Patriots. At the time, Reich and quarterback Carson Wentz were in Philly. Apparently, the Colts ran the Philly Special for their opening touchdown in Week 15.
