Some started fires. Others climbed garbage trucks and scaled light poles. Multitudes watched fireworks light up the night sky.
Philadelphia Eagles Fans took to the streets to celebrate in Eastern Pennsylvania Sunday night to celebrate their team’s 40-22 defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59.
Following their team’s victory, photos show large crowds on streets surrounding City Hall cheering in the streets in the moments the team became two-time winning Super Bowl champions.
The team won its first big game during Super Bowl 52 in 2018 by beating the New England Patriots in Minneapolis. The game is known for the trick play ‘Philly Special’ that culminated in a touchdown for the victory.
