Every decision the Philadelphia Eagles make as an organization is informed by analytics, including the most consequential in-game decision in franchise history — the one that led to the Philly Special.
There is a large bronze statue at Lincoln Financial Field commemorating the conversation on the sideline between coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Nick Foles during Super Bowl LII that led to the famous playcall on fourth-and-goal late in the first half.
“You want Philly Philly?” Foles asked.
“Yeah,” Pederson replied after a beat. “Let’s do it.”
Far less celebrated is the conversation moments before between Pederson and Ryan Paganetti, one of two members of the Eagles analytics department who has a direct line of communication to the coach in-game. Paganetti, who has a B.S. in economics from Dartmouth and also serves as the team’s assistant linebackers coach, is responsible for feeding Pederson math-based recommendations when it comes to, among other things, going for it on fourth down.
