The Eagles are trying to trademark the phrase 'Philly Special'

There are a lot of reasons the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. Nick Foles was perfect, the offense was humming, and the defense got vital stops when they counted the most. But if you could whittle down the entire Eagles Super Bowl to just one thing, it would be the gutsy, majestic Philly Special play. The day after the Eagles won, people were already getting tattoos of that now-famous trick play formation. And just a few weeks after the play was run on the field, the Eagles want to own the name of the play itself.
