Look at them. This is something in 2008 when the phillies clinched the world series and have the same kind of celebration here and jim i have a feeling this is going to be going on for many hourset to come for were hours of the morning back to you. All right dann let me ask you a quick question of Course Police have been concerned that there would be the forum we have seen in the past years unthwart of the fans what about the partiers and the fans . The behavior except for a few things a knuckle head was popping fire works this the crowd but it has been orderly and joyful crowd and the police out here most of the day and Large Police Presence most of the day and began blocking the streets frankfort and cottman with large trash trucks so we would not have cars here or anybody trying to climb on cars and no vehicles on the streets just one big sea of people just having the time of their lives, theyre having a ball tonight jim. Thank you, dann cuellar let us switch to south philadelphia action News Reporter chad and the crowd is going bananas and excited and enjoying the win and behind them they have the trash that are blocking traffic and i want to show you some video from broad street about 5, 10 minutes from now fireworks going off, people are dancing and they are blocking traffic waving flags you have people all ages making their way down here in south philadelphia tonight to enjoy this eagles victory in the superbowl and one lady fell out of her car right on her head and she is okay fortunately and they are driving around and celebrating hanging heads out of the windows and having a festive time down in south philadelphia like dann mentioned a few people got out of hand but seems most fans are doing it the right way and celebrating and not doing anything criminal and celebrating in a good old fashion way and obviously this party is going to go on for hours it appears and doesnt look like it will slow down and people are beginning to make their way down to center city and city hall obviously that is an area of major concern, you got a lot of beer flying we are getting sprayed by Southern Comfort over here but we are enjoying it, the eagles won so what can you say we are having fun they are having fun and its going to continue for several more hours live in south philadelphia chad. We will go to Christie Ileto who is staked out in center city christie the situation there. Tim we have a birds eye view and look at the crowd and may be an all nighter the party is still going strong and why not they are superbowl champs and waiting for a crowd estimate from police but eyeballing it it looks like the crowd is growing by the half hour and this is a massive crowd celebrates at broad and wall nut and clearly the place to be in center city and wow what a shared experience it is for all of the fan whose have waited in some cases a lifetime for this now there is a heavy Police Presence here the surrounding around the intersection and has been blocked off to give people a chance to celebrate they have barricades and also reached out which have not stopped a couple people from stealing the poles and if you are down there stay and celebrate responsibly but again given the sheer size of the crowd its safe to say a lot of people might be calling out tomorrow but again you can see this is a massive crowd from our chopper cam that you can see and its just spanning several blocks down here on broad street, i mean fans are really, really just savering this moment and just enjoying history being made in their city. Jim back to you. Lets keep that picture for just a minute this is broad street, it is extending the crowd from city hall blocks to the south, a lot of people now conjugating on broad street through the avenue of the arts and you will see it thin out for a little while then it gets concentrated again. Thousands and thousands of people now massing on broad street in Center City Philadelphia and of course there is a party going on up at Temple University action News Reporter walter perez is there tonight with students and north Philadelphia Eagles fans hey walter what is going on . Jim, before we go any further i got a question for you guys how does it feel to be world champions . Oh, my goodness, jim, there was a big crowd and hold on a second, jump in front, there is a huge crowd of people that were walking north along broad street a short time ago and happened right after the game ended and the celebration has continued ever since, a strong Police Presence in the area but do you know what people have been great, people have been very cooperative with the police and im getting pushed around a little bit but its not bad and people really just enjoying the feel of what its like for the first time in franchise history to be superbowl champs and they celebrate their teams and boston and chicago and places like that but no one lives breathes and dies with their team quite like philadelphia and the fact that this happened now the way it happened has people absolutely elated and i want to ask you a question, come here, honestly now did you ever think, hold on, did you ever think that the eagles would actually win a superbowl . No i didnt think they would and im from philadelphia. The other question is do you believe the way they did it . Yes, i do. It was amazing. Did you guys enjoy the game, was this Something Else . My goodness the atmosphere here is incredible, the party will go on for quite a while and we will be here with them and walter perez. Thank you walter we are going to take a live look at what is going on at cottman and frankfort in may fair. The crowd continues to grow. The Party Continues to be fun. Everybody continues to act the way they should and its a great time. Im sitting next to Jeff Skversky who is preparing and talk football in just a few momen moments. Hold on. Live inside u. S. Bank stadium we are Ducis Rodgers and ducis so many of the crucial plays that are now a part of eagles and we will be discussing them i want to know you were on the field i want to know what the experience was like for you. Incredible, jim, incredible. This game was a micro causam for the team and it was resilience and lost an all proteam for the players that got injured carson wentz and peters and hicks and chris and at this game with 9 22 in the game tom brady tied the game with a touchdown and seemed things would not go their way and were not able to sack tom brady at all until the final few minutes when he came with a sack and barnett recovered the ball and that pretty much sealed the deal. See agree lot of players on the field just moments ago, they are excited. I dont know if official plans have been released for the parade if it has not they released it on wednesday they will be partying like crazy there in philadelphia and spoke to jason kelsy his 7th year in the nfl and got to the superbowl and here is kelsy after the game. Feels awesome and im so happy i mean this city has been waiting for it for years, ive been waiting for it for years, jeffrey louri has been waiting for this. So many people in philadelphia watch ing this what do you think is going on in the city. Hope not destroying it because we have a parade coming up, on broad street and imagine they are celebrating pretty good. People outside of philadelphia did not believe in the team this year what do you think of the fans who stick with you and always believe. The best fans and home record the last two seasons for a reason and the fans are there and make it known. Today you could tell it was electric cloud and we had more fans than patriots it was not close and the fans are a reason why we have been so successful and its evident. We talked to you this week you dont know when you will get the chance and this far with the chance has it sunk in you are a superbowl champion . Its still sinking in i guess and you work so hard to get to this moment, so hard even if you are healthy to get to this moment and the fact that we have been able to overcome everything, the fact we have been able to overcome injuries and quarterback going down and overcome that middle linebacker going down special teams player we have leadership consult with nine guys this the beginning five of the nine are out and testament to the organization, its a testament to the coaches, they assembled guys who are able to go in and its a testament to the team and should Stay Together and fight and just keep moving. I got a crazy stat to pass along tom brady threw 500 yards with 3 touchdown and no interceptions its the first time in nfl history regular season or post season that a quarterback has put up those kinds of numbers in a loss. If you can believe it. Of course the offense of the eagles was able to get it done. That is called by Doug Pederson to throw the tight end pass for trey burton to nick follows for a touchdown that took a lot of guts and trey burton played quarterback at the university of florida that certainly worked out and speaking defensive guys here tonight and said they ran that play in practice and worked like a charm and they knew at some point doug would call it and he did lets listen to more sound one of the captains on defense malcolm jenkins. Cant wait to get back to philly it will be a celebration like no other and cannot wait to join them and we worked for it not just one person but i got a moment to share with my teammates. Still discover how it feels, this guy how it feels. Follow your dreams as soon as you can get it follow it. Believe in our coaches and believe in your coach and believe in each other because at the end of the day he is a Great Quarterback and cant take nothing from him and when the ball leaves the guys hands he is that special of a player but at the end of the day that is it. I spoke with lane johnson the right tackle of the eagles of course he was suspended for a lot of last season eight games after testing positive twice for a ban substance this season was a redemption for him and spoke to him and he is extremely excited and proud of his team but earlier in the year he said that the eagles win the superbowl he is going to buy beer for everyone in philadelphia then bud light tweeted him and said they will take care of the tab i dont know if bud light was expecting this but lane says if bud doesnt come through he will come through so there is going to be some kind of party in philadelphia not sure when but its going to happen soon and hear the craziness if you can get a shot there is the mvp of the superbowl 52 nick foles a guy who was almost out of football a couple years ago now super bowl champion and jim back to you. Thank you ducis and we want to take another look at south broad Street Center city philadelphia, it begins im not exactly sure where this crowd extends to, maybe someone can help me i know it goes all the way to city hall. We are still listening to some inside baseball behind the scenes from Ducis Rodgers but this goes up to city hall and it extents far below broad and wall nut so it probably five, six, seven blocks is that correct someone tell me which would make it thousands of people already enjoying their party on the streets of Center City Philadelphia look at that shot from chopper six its going. The parade has already begun in philadelphia. That is exactly right. That is the voice of Jeff Skversky. A couple of plays you immediately think of, of course that trick play at the end of the first half that everybody is talking about, but also the play by Brandon Graham that takes the ball out of the hands of tom brady before he can get the pass off, maybe the play that turns the game on. The only play where the eagles were actually able to get to tom brady and of all the guys Brandon Graham a former first round pick nearly run out of town wasnt getting a lot of playing time for years and years and years early on in his career and makes a play of his life tonight stripping it free from tom brady and barnett the rookie coming with the grab as the eagles sealed the deal in super bowl 52 and hard to think we are talk about this but eagles fans you have been waiting 52 years to say the eagles finally yes our super bowl champs to see it and hear it gives you goose bumps and nick foles with one of the most unlikely seasons and unlikely wins in superbowl history over the patriots eagles are champs and Fourth Quarter here come the patriots what a finish in this game eagles up three but tom brady to ronkowski and remarkable catch and gets in there and all the eagles are down one and nick foles Doug Pederson what are you going to do and dial up and down one and change to go and foles barely gets it and 20 to go and continue to drive, foles and agalor who comes up big all season in the 25 and 2 21 and 37 from the 11 and foles, eagles back in front they review it to make sure its a touchdown he holds on and loves it tom brady still over two minutes to come back and try to take the lead. The eagles take it away, Brandon Graham knocks it three Derrick Barnett the rookie recovers first sack of the super bowl on brady who threw over 500 yards and hail mary unreal and eagles hang on to win 4133 second most points in super bowl history combined the eagles are super bowl champions for the first time tonight, its hard to believe watching this for nick foles Jeffrey Laurie and Bradley Cooper this is a celebration tonight in minneapolis and super bowl 52 the misery is finally over for eagles fans and this city, the dark cloud over the scene is over and Jeffrey Laurie bought the team for 185 million getting a Vince Lombardi trophy and the first championship since 1960 and the first super bowl trophy and nick foles getting super bowl mvp and three passing touchdowns and lets not forget about the touchdown at the end of the half that gutsy call by coach Doug Pederson do you kick it or go for not only do they go for it but go for it in a manner we have never seen in super bowl. You talk about him buying the eagles paid 7 for the franchise and saw the conditions at the old veteran stadium and turned this into a super bowl champion and what a scene here in philadelphia tonight. And police carving a path is that what is going on down on broad street as chopper six getting a birds eye view of what is going on down on South Broad Street in Center City Philadelphia. Police want to make sure that there is a path open. Dangerous to have a crowd fill up the space and there was much talk about this when the pope visited philadelphia dangerous to have a wide space like this with no path in or out in the case of emergencies so police are trying the best they can to create some kind of an egress through this enormous crowd and lets go to minneapolis and our duo with brian taff and Sharrie Williams and enjoyed your reports so much during the course of the week have you had a chance to talk to eagles fans their generations long dream has finally come true . Thank you my friend weve had so much fun. Fans are screaming out at u. S. Bank stadium and took some time but didnt want to give up a seat for history tonight these fans so excited to be in this moment. Yeah, this is the moment that grand daddy talked to daddy to his son and grand mom and little girls and on and on and on and tonight they can claim victory in super bowl 52 and we have some fans. One person is claiming responsibility for this victory tonight he is a senior from senior Francis Malone a Catholic Priest and you did a lot of praying for the team. Not only me but 650 students of the school who are anticipating that with a victory they will have no school tomorrow. We will see. And they already are out there and who has the championship hat . The official championship hat. And you live in free mar so what is it like to be here with your friends and family . Its unbelievable, so happy for the Eagles Organization and coach pederson and nick foles you got to hand it to him, i mean unbelievable. So much has been made about the sper chul spirituality and a Close Knit Group and can you reflect on this and what makes him so special. They got it right and all the abilities they have and all gifts from god and what they have done through the season and especially what they did tonight is give him thanks in return. Know of the group who has been crying ive seen a lot of tears tonight. Tears of joy. Tears of joy, no doubt. Such a wonderful moment and i think the team is so reflective of the city and perceive ourselves as being overlooked and think of ourselves as the under dogs and as of tonight philadelphia can no longer be called the under dogs. The city and the team congratulations, guys. Celebrations are still happening here, we are just grabbing people as they come and go. I mean people lingering around taking it all in. The Patriots Fans left rather quickly. They did quietly and quickly. Not to watch the trophy and mvp going to nick foles and now they are all heading out to watch parties. Broad street see you on broad street guys. All right dann we will send it back to you at the studio. All right jim. I want to go back. Joy for sure. Thank you sharrie, thank you guys appreciate it. Brian taff and we will switch live to Sarah Bloomquist who spent the entire week outdoors for some reason on this night of all nights she is indoors at the town hall brewery where she watched the game with fans. Its overrated and happy to be inside at the town hall brewery folks who were at the game and now are back to the bartow celebrate and you were there in the stands, give me an idea of the atmosphere. It was crazy and you would have highs and lows and panic and it was just unbelievable. To be here why did you need to be in minneapolis why did you make this happen. Bucket list and when you get older you go to every game and you wait for this. How does this change the whole narrative for an eagles fan. I dont know its all for talk number two. I heard you talking to another fan you are like what are we supposed to do now. I know. Number two, new dynasty. All right donna you are from mount morel you were there tonight. Yes. What was the atmosphere inside u. S. Bank stadium . First person with the greased pole im buying shots. How does this change things forever for eagles fan. I went to the first super bowl ill be at every one, the first of a dynasty. You said in the final seconds and minutes you were just. My back was all stressed out my daughter was all stressed out but god we got a victory. You said you went to church this morning. Yes i did st. Celia and prayed with the priest father jokins and wrote on eagles wings and told him we were going all the way. So much fun so what are you going to do now . Stay up. We are going to rewatch the game. All right. We will be here until they connect us out. Me too. [ chanting eagles ] all right, a lot of eagles pride here in minneapolis tonight, they are celebrating just blocks away from the place where the eagles won the super bowl back to you. Thank you sarah and find an outside location so we can get you there for your next report. All right we have our first obvious problem of the night this is broad and wallnut is that right outside the w . I cant tell but there has been a bit of unthwart roughhousing as a car has been tipped over on its side by some eagles fans who certainly went one step too far, the vehicle is surrounded by police so no one is going to get to it anymore but our first yes that is right in front of the w, correct, our first problem of the night. Otherwise so far so good. Lets go to frankfort and cottman in may fair where action News ReporterJohn Rawlings is looking at things. Standing out of the way because you do tend to attack a lot of attention if they know we are on television but this is frankfort and cottman and excited an emotional crowd well behaved certainly no rob problems reported as we know of as far as damage to any property, there have been some fireworks. There are thousands of people here, we are down sort of on first or the ground floor and hard to tell exactly how many people are here but as far as we can tell there are people and they continue to come into this area and some folks have been here in the first hour or so and decided to go home but a lot more people are still pouring in here and they seem to be enjoying and friendly and happy and certainly happy and a win in the super bowl but there are a lot of people here and you know i got a feeling this is going to go on for much of the night. They seem to be powered by quite a bit of happiness as far as fuel is concerned and they are enjoying themselves so this is the situation as we take a look at it outside, we were able to talk to a view of them earlier and lets see if we can roll that tape. Im so excited for philadelphia. This is a great time for us. We deserved it. We had the better players. Back and forth game. Awesome game, very good. We saw what we wanted. So the folks earlier as we say a lot of people continue to sort of pour into this area, the police had shut it down and its quartered off and otraffic in here that is a good thing and created a giant pedestrian mall and happy pedestrians have come back into this area and enjoying themselves and look as we pan left right now if we can you can see some of the people as they come up cottman towards the intersection of cottman and frankfort this is the situation in may far john with action news six. Christie ileto standing by again in Center City Philadelphia with a good view of broad and wallnut christie what can you tell us from there . Well, jim, we are actually looking down walnut street and cannot see where the massive crowd extends and focus on the car that has been flipped on its side and its surrounded by the police the bike Police Patrol and this happened about a half hour ago and you can see that something their celebrations must have gone clearly a step further than it should have been a heavy Police Presence at the intersection of broad and wall nut all evening trying to encourage fans to celebrate peacefully responsibly this is a clear indicator that has not happened but aside from the car that has been flipped over on its side in front
