Philadelphia earned its right to party after the Eagles dominated the Vikings in a 38-7 win in the NFC Championship, proving that, Wentz or no Wentz, this team is for real. Years of pent up frustration from fans was released on the streets of Philly, and in the end, no amount of Crisco could stop them from climbing poles and celebrating.
Eagles fans’ celebrations had fires, greased poles, and someone driving up the ‘Rocky’ steps
What a night it was.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The scene in the city center was stunning as hundreds of fans partied late into the night.
Some decided to take a leisurely drive ... up the Rocky stairs.
But other fans decided to take the train instead.
The fans on the street were in for a cold night outside, so they lit old Christmas trees on fire to stay warm.
The most lit thing, though, was the street parties.
One fan who bet on the game decided to share the wealth.
And the richest thing Philly gave us is this incredible video.
While the Eagles won, at least they were kind enough to offer up the Vikings’ famous chant ...
Oh wait, they’re saying “Foles.”
While it was all a giant party, spare a thought for this poor truck driver who was just trying to work on Sunday night.
Congratulations, Eagles fans, you’ve earned this. I hope your headaches aren’t too bad this morning. Who am I kidding? Y’all aren’t even awake yet.
