We did see Charles Barclay inside the stadium sitting with eagles owner jeffrey lurery and now hes made his way across the street outside to xfinity live where hes celebrating with the fans out there in xfinity live. Its just an amazing crowd, an amazing party. The whole city is celebrating tonight. Its electric inside xfinity live. Theyve got lots of music going. They dont need music on the southeast. Theyre just pouring out into the streets. Lets go down to Brandon Hudson whos live in the northeast. I understand youve been talk together Police Commissioner . Reporter yeah, thats right jim and denise. We dont have to be in the crowd but we can feel the passion and excitement all the way where we are. I got commissioner ross with me. Commissioner ross, what do you make of this crowd out here . Well, its an elated group of folks and we can understand why, its a long time coming. Cant be more excited for the eagles, the coach, and especially nick foles and all these people are as well. So you got thousands of people out here. Youve seen that in a matter of minutes this crowd swell by thousands of folks. We anticipate theyre probably going to be out here for a long while. Reporter i remember you telling me between 10,012,000 you guys were telling me that you have out here. With your training and your guyss training, how do you go into these situations . Well, i mean, its a lot of planning that goes into this, but weve got a lot of assets out here. Some seen and some unseen. But right now youre just hopeful that folks will be friendly and jubilant but at the same time they wont cause any problems. But were here, were ready and we understand the excitement because were excited too. You guys are excited and fans of the hometown team. How do you not get so swept away in the excitement and whats been going on and seeing the eagles going to the super bowl . Well, i mean, were all excited on the inside but weve got a job to do right now. Thats whataway want to do because were professionals. You got to believe that just about everybody out here in uniform is excited as all those people. Reporter lets head back to the stewed joeio. Real quick, i think he tossed out a crowd estimate, was it 10,000 to 12,000, did we hear that right joo yes, thats right. Last time you went to us there were about 3,000 people out here, now there are about 10,000 to 12,000 people and its continuing to grow. A lot of of it is concentrated at that intersection of frankford and cottman. But police and the Streets Department trucks are surrounding the perimeter so you have people walking up. You dont have a lot of traffic but have you people walking up, and thats what its looking like now. So police its going to be a long night for them and were going to be right there with them. We heard the Police Commissioner talking about how this crowd swells to three, four times the original amount and people pouring out into the streets and the celebration is a long time coming. Lets go down to john clark live outside the eagles locker room. Hey, guys, youve been covering this team all season. Unbelievable. When you think about it, mike quick, youre an eagles hall of famer, you were watching it from the radio booth. How stunned were you with the way they were able to dominate supposedly the best defense in the nfl . Its the number one defense in the nfl, theyre number in the top 5 in a lot of categories but they didnt appear that way because the eagles had a game plan and they execute today nearly to perfection. This is a beat down and no one expected this. You know, i think all of us thought that this would be a defensive game where theres not going to be a lot of scoring. The game would end up real tight with very little scoring, everything but that. Mike, 38 unanswered points on the vikings defense. Yeah. Reporter and youre talking about four different passing plays of 36 or more yards. Yeah. Reporter last week it was a short passing game, get it out quick. Did you have an idea they were going to try to open it up this week . I knew they would take some shots on the corners on the outside. And i thought when roads went down for a little while they took advantage of that. You have to know whos on the field. They recognize the personnel deficiencies they had on the field and they took advantage of it and they threw the ball down field on both sides with that defense and they had success doing it. Mike quick when you think about what this eagles team has done, whose leading them to the super bowl . Its nick foles at the quarterback, and big v. Came in who do great. Jay ajie yeah, have you so many new players and also backups who have come in. Is this one of the more incredible teams youve ever seen having the backups come in and perform this well . Youre exactly right. But ask you whos leading them to the super bowl, its very simple in my mind, its Doug Pederson. Because what hes been able to do, he has the talent so the Personnel Department you have to give a lot of credit because they understand the personnel thats needed for the task. So theyve been able to acquire those guys. But Doug Pederson, the job hes done coaching these guys and making sure theyre prepared. And then on game day being able to stay level head and calling the plays that hes called to exploit defenses, i give a lot of credit to him. This is kind of the way philadelphia does it, right . This is the way we do it here in philly because underdogs again in two games here in the playoffs and theyre going to be underdogs again against the evil empire tom braidly, Bill Belichick and the patriots . I dont think they want to have itny other way. I think they like that mentality being the underdogs. All that talk was about the minnesota defense. Well i think this eagles defense took kbeption to that and they played this way. I got to tell you pregame, i dont think ive seen anything like this, how loose and relaxed and how much fun the eagles were having. Moment didnt get too big for them. They were all dancing on the field pregame and i dont know if ive seen that before. Theyve got this song that they play, and when they play that song, they all seem to get hyped and they all just i mean, they let it go. And they let it go the same way out on the field tonight. Reporter i tell you, this is one of the most fun groups to cover because nick foles said it. He said when youre in the locker room they all talk, theyre all friends, they have a great chemistry. How much do you think the bond that this team has, they have so much fun playing together, you see how theyre out there dance, throwing it down. Yeah. Reporter jeffrey lor rit owner there last week throwing it down. How much fun is this . Everybodys got to learn to do the jeffrey now. But the key is theyre such a good team, its not like theres a superstar and everyones depending on the superstar to win games. This is a solid Football Team. Its the ultimate team sport and then have you really an ultimate team where everybodys contributing and everybodys doing their part, which is so important. Mike, you can say the words, the eagles are going to the super bowl. Listen, it sounds so sweet and i have to say it. The eagles are going to the super bowl in minneapolis, minnesota, to play in super bowl 50 ii. So philly has never won a sooul super bowl. If nick foles is the guy to lead them to a super bowl win in this town. That would be. That would be an unbelievable story. How smart is it to resign nick foles in philadelphia, you know, anticipating because quarterbacks go down in this league. Chase daniel was the backup before. Its just what happens. Quarterbacks go down. So when nick foles was available, they got fik foanick and its paid off dividends for this franchise. Carson wentz on his cane, hes off crutches, but on his cane he was right there with nick foles going up to the podium accepting the trophy, the nfc title, and its amazing how attached carson wentz is to nick foles. Theyre at 6 00 in the morning for meetings, Early Morning going over the game plan, trying to put in plays where he can, some are rejected but hes putting in plays and right there with them all. Nick foles comes off the field during the game and carson gets the tablet and he sits down with nick ander in going over the tablet. Carson wentz say part of this thing helping nick foles in the entire process. But its not just that. You watch jason peters and hes out there with his guys. Right before the Fourth Quarter started he walked on to the field walking down the field with his guys. And all of these guys that have gone down, theyre making sure theyre a part of this making sure that the little bit that they can do, they cant play right now, but any enkrarth meant, any coaching tips, anything they do to help it along theyre in. Reporter were going to get some eagles players, were going to bring them here and bring you all the coverage. They will all come right here and talk toubs. The birds are going to the bowl, you can believe it . Back to you. u u 0ux , xxopzpn and our live easinglgles cov is just Getting Started tonight. Well be back with live nbc news playoff special.
