That, of course, reminded many football fans of how Alabama backup QB Tua Tagovailoa came in at halftime of the National Championship Game and led the Crimson Tide to a thrilling overtime win over Georgia.

This, of course, is a fake documentary, but it was a fun tweet from ESPN after the Eagles’ improbable victory.
Here’s hoping the 2018-19 seasons prove to be as exciting as this year was.
