Eagles long snapper says the team ran a fake walkthrough before the Super Bowl to ensure the Patriots couldn't steal their plays

Long snapper Rick Lovato believes the Eagles final walkthrough was a bluff in case the Patriots were attempting to get an early peek at their game plan.

  • The Philadelphia Eagles won their first Super Bowl in franchise history thanks in part to a perfectly executed trick play the team dubbed the "Philly Special."
  • Eagles long snapper Rick Lovato recently revealed that the team kept the play, along with the rest of their game plan, in extreme secrecy, even going as far as running a fake walkthrough the day before the Super Bowl, for fear that the Patriots were watching.
  • There's no evidence that the Patriots were spying on the Eagles, but many conspiratorial-minded Philadelphians were convinced that was the case after the teams ran extremely similar trick plays.

The Philadelphia Eagles won their first Super Bowl in franchise history this past Sunday, defeating the New England Patriots 41-33 in an instant classic.

Philadelphia prevailed with the help of a practically flawless game plan, and Eagles long snapper Rick Lovato recently revealed that he believes the team took extra precaution during their final preparations for the game to ensure it was kept secret.
