The Twitterverse erupted in a surprising twist in Apple TV’s Patriots documentary, ‘The Dynasty’  The news broke like a thunderclap: amidst the celebration of football greatness, the Patriots chose to erase a pivotal moment from history. But why?

When a fan-shared video revealed selective editing, notably omitting Nick Foles‘ name from famed sports commentator Al Michaels’ iconic call of the “Philly Special” touchdown during Super Bowl LII, it turned out to be more than just an editing choice. It’s a reminder of the simmering beef between Tom Brady and Foles.

From Brady’s refusal to shake Foles’ hand after Super Bowl LII to their icy encounters on the field, the rivalry between these two quarterbacks runs deep. As we rewind to Super Bowl LII, the tension was palpable as the Eagles faced off against the Patriots in a showdown for the ages. The ‘Philly Special’ play, with Foles’ name now conspicuously absent, remains a defining moment in NFL history—a testament to the resilience and creativity of the underdog Eagles.

While Brady downplayed the incidents in interviews, Foles remained indifferent, hoping for a lighthearted conversation in the future. As fans conspired over the footage, the glaring absence of Foles’ name sparked outrage and speculation across social media platforms.

But the drama doesn’t end there. ‘The Dynasty’ series, known for its in-depth look at the Patriots’ unparalleled success, now finds itself embroiled in controversy. How could a series dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Patriots overlook such a significant moment?
