Pederson sends Twitter into hysterics with play call of the year

(Warning: Story contains graphic images)

Sean Payton has some company when it comes to the ballsiest coaching decisions in Super Bowl history.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson sent his offense out to go for it on fourth-and-goal to end the first half, and the team absolutely nailed a trick play, running a direct snap end-around with a pass to quarterback Nick Foles.

Twitter went into overdrive.

The Patriots tried a similar play earlier in the game, and Tom Brady couldn't pull off what Foles could.
