PHILADELPHIA — The poles were greased, but that didn't stop some raucous Philadelphia Eagles fans from climbing Sunday night when the Birds won the NFC Championship and secured their spot in Super Bowl LVII.
Fans took to the streets, as is tradition with a major Philly sports team win, Sunday night after the game.
The Eagles had a decisive win over the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field, sending the team to their second Super Bowl.

Crowds packed Broad Street and the area around Philadelphia City Hall, all reveling in the Eagles victory and monumental season.
The streets were clear by about 10 p.m., likely due to the game's early 3 p.m. start time, and no major issues were reported among partiers (though some fans did apparently fall through the roof of a SEPTA bus stop).
