Riley Cooper Hides In The End Zone

By on November 5, 2012

Riley Cooper Plays Dead

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this be attempted during an NFL game.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper tried to hide in the New Orleans Saints lettering in their end zone during a 3rd quarter kick-off on Monday Night Football in Louisiana.  He did a pretty good job disappearing as the Eagles were able to pull off a “Music City Miracle” type touchdown.  Unfortunately the TD was called back because the cross-field pass was ruled an illegal forward pass.

    Funnier still, as the picture shows…Riley's jersey: very white. The 's' very black. The camouflage can't have worked all that well.

      the camo had to work unless the play wouldnt have worked but the saints might have been that dumb not to see him that by far the best trick play ever

    I thought that was genius — thinking outside the box and (except for the pass itself) legal.
    Innovative and quite clever. And i dont particularly like the Eagles either

      Agree! It reminded me of the dog barking play from a high school basketball game a few years back.
