‘Philadelphia Eagles Are World Champions!!’
The Philadelphia Eagles win Super Bowl LII and are now World Champions!
One can say three is a charm, because after the Eagles losing their first two Super Bowl appearances, they beat the New England Patriots 41 – 33!
As a Philadelphian, it was a great sight to witness as tens of thousands of fans flooded the streets! Many fans have dreamed this their whole life, and those who were looking down from above as well! There was hugging, crying, those singing Eagles chants and much more.
Many doubted the Eagles after Carson Wentz was lost for the season in week 14 while playing the Los Angeles Rams. But in steps Nick Foles for the remainder of the season. And guess what, Foles ended up being the MVP of Super Bowl LII!
It’s been an amazing story and year for the Eagles and their beloved fans. So much adversity wrapped up into one season.
Congratulations Philadelphia Eagles! Super Bowl Champions!!
People take to the streets of Philadelphia after the Eagles win the Super Bowl! And no, the city did not burn down! This video was taken at the corner of Broad and 15th Streets!
