The New England Patriots’ history of cheating was not lost on the Philadelphia Eagles heading into Super Bowl LII.
According to Eagles long snapper Rick Lovato, the Birds were very carefully about the looks they showed while practicing in Minnesota leading up to the big game. He specifically mentioned they did not rep the Philly Special that week.

“We had run that play during a walk-through like two weeks ago,” Lovato said, adding that the Eagles purposefully did not run the play in Minnesota due to concerns that the Patriots may be watching.
