The Philadelphia Eagles had Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles in the house during Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

And when cameras panned to Foles, Fox Sports announcer Tom Brady—who was bested by the Birds in Super Bowl LII—had a bit of fun with the situation.

"Nick, I don't hate you," Brady said while laughing. "I'm just jealous of you. You caught it! I didn't."

Brady was referencing two key plays from that matchup—the famous Philly Special trick play, with Foles catching a touchdown pass on a fourth-down conversion, and Brady dropping his own potential reception on a New England gadget play.

Nick Foles turns 36 today, but the Philly Special is timeless. 🦅⁰⁰<br><br>(🎥 <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFL</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Eagles?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Eagles</a>) <a href="https://t.co/3Cd5trd0pF">pic.twitter.com/3Cd5trd0pF</a>

It was a bit of levity from the famously competitive Brady and a fun memory for Eagles fans who were already celebrating another trip to the Super Bowl.
