“Do you dare?”
That’s the question that Al Michaels asked his broadcast partner, Cris Collinsworth, as the clocked ticked down from 5:51 to 5:50 remaining in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl LII. The Eagles were trailing 33-32, facing a 4th and 1 at their own 45-yard line.
Collinsworth responded with no hesitation, “you have to”.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson agreed. He left his offense on the field and called for a mesh concept with his tight ends crossing underneath, allowing Nick Foles to find an open Zach Ertz for the first down.
