Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb almost pulled off the infamous 'Philly Special' during the 2024 Pro Bowl flag football game.

In the first quarter of the game, Hurts threw it to Lamb and rolled out for the Cowboys star to throw it back to him.

Unfortunately, CeeDee's pass intended for Hurts was a bit too high and went right through his hands.

The slow-motion replay is even better.

The Eagles' Philly Special Was Born 6 Years Ago Today

While the play didn't work out for Hurts and the National Football Conference flag football team at the Pro Bowl games, it did for Nick Foles and the Eagles exactly six years ago today.

It was also the birth of the "Philly Special" or "Philly Philly," where Jason Kelce snapped the ball to running back Corey Clement who tossed it to tight end Trey Burton, who then passed it to Foles for a touchdown in Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots.
