NFL: Super Bowl LVII-Philadelphia City Scenes
Enraged Eagles fans crowded the streets of Philadelphia last night, shouting profanities such as “F–k the Chiefs,” setting off fireworks and fighting police. The riots came following the Philly Eagles devastating 38-35 final loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the highly anticipated Super Bowl this past Sunday night.
Philadelphia police issued warnings to the devoted Eagles rioters, who proceeded to climb greased poles, jump on top of bus stops, along with throwing pieces of fencework at SWAT team members who stood ready for the worst in their riot gear.
The riots grew increasingly violent, which led police to set off smoke bombs around 11PM EST to help break up the sea of blue and green jerseys wreaking havoc on the streets of Philly.
While it has been confirmed that arrests were made following last night’s riots, there is not a confirmed number as of now.
Videos of the riots have been circulating on social media since post-game last night.
