The Eagles will have a Super Bowl parade this week.
Fans aren’t going to wait.
Philadelphia was on fire, in some cases literally, in the aftermath of the Eagles’ 41-33 Super Bowl LII victory on Sunday, the first in the franchise’s history.
Quickly social media was, uh, lit up with celebrations, with fans notorious for passion letting it all out.
More concerning than the flames springing out of the city were the trust falls, which fans should not have been trusting. A video went around of a man perched atop a Ritz-Carlton awning falling into the crowd from a height, trusting he would be caught.
That scary jump led to a scary fall, as the awning later collapsed under the weight of the fans.
In the lead-up to the game, light poles were greased up with hydraulic fluid, the city’s latest attempt to keep fans from climbing them in celebration. Of course, Philly fans again saw it as more a challenge than an obstacle, and there were still people dangerously hanging off poles.
“F–k that grease,” the fans chanted as the daredevils climbed. Many of them were seen chugging beers as they got to the top. At one point the fans got so out of control, they pulled down a light pole.
The streets of the city were also filled with Eagles fans chanting “F–k Tom Brady” in reference to the Patriots quarterback — and “Big d–k Nick” in honor of Philly QB Nick Foles.
By 12:30 a.m., the mayhem started to increase, as the windows at the Macy’s near City Hall got smashed.
One man was inside the display taking a selfie with a mannequin, and when cops arrived, he was taken away.
A bit down Market Street, a window of a T-Mobile store was broken as well.
Dustin Fisher, 19, said, “This guy took a can of Bud Light and boom — shattered the window.”
“From the men and women of @bostonpolice to our brother and sister officers of @PhillyPolice: ‘Congratulations to you and your city. Please be safe out there,'” the Boston police tweeted out, which was retweeted by the Philly police.
In a city of 1.5 million, it seemed there were about 1.5 million revelers.
