Perhaps just as crazy as Tulane’s game-winner: This fake kneel play to set it up. pic.twitter.com/VS9i8C0kd6

LOVE IT! Give me all the trick plays. Tulane pulled the old fake kneel out of their playbook in a tie game with 18 seconds to go. Naturally they immediately followed this up with a 60 yard hail mary TD to win the game in walkoff fashion.
WHAT A FINISH! #SCtop10 pic.twitter.com/SEtz8djsTG

I am an absolute schill for trick plays. I still remember the fake spike Brady connected with Randy Moss on for on a TD against the Washington R-Words in 2007.
Or what about the Ravens pulling out the fake punt direct snap running play against the goddamn Dolphins?
I’ll never forget the double pass the Patriots pulled off against the Ravens in the playoffs in 2014 with Edelman launching a bomb to Danny Amendola for a TD.
Hell in that same game the Patriots were confusing the shit out of the Ravens with their ineligible/eligible lineman formations. So much so that the league immediately changed the rule to prevent this.
Give me all the trick plays, hook and ladders, reverses, you name it; if you have some trickery in your playbook dump em out.
I completely forgot the Patriots also ran this fake kneel play in the Falcons Super Bowl trying to pop a walk off TD at the end of regulation.

When they finally started including trick plays in Madden is when things got real fun. I would bust out a HB toss to a downfield pass at least 5 times a game because if you connect on even one it would cause your buddy to spike his PS4 clicker. Not to mention the fake punt pass play, its just too bad every punter not named Adam Vinatieri has a worse arm than Johnny Damon.
TLDR; major props to Tulane for busting out a ridiculous fake play to help them steal a win. Need more of that in sports.
