One of the most-bet novelty props for the Super Bowl—especially since the advent of the Anytime TD market on DraftKings Sportsbook—is the first touchdown of the game.

Saquon Barkley entered the game as the favorite, followed by Travis Kelce. Below is a straightforward rundown of the first touchdown of Super Bowl LIX

How the first touchdown of Super Bowl LIX happened

After a strike from Hurts to Dotson on the Eagles’ second drive that was at first ruled a touchdown, but the Eagles lined up at the one-and-a-half yard line.

Eagles lined up in tush push formation, and Jalen Hurts cashes the first touchdown of the Super Bowl on a tush push.

Fitting indeed—the new Philly Special, no?
