The fans of the Philadelphia Eagles wasted no time in turning the streets of Eastern Pennsylvania into one giant victory party Sunday night after the team soared to a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
As soon as the Eagles secured their second championship, the fans poured into the streets around City Hall, turning the area into a sea of green, cheers, and probably a few people climbing things they definitely weren't supposed to. Because in Philly, when the Birds win, the city really lets you know about it.
The "celebration" by the Philly fans has gone to new heights—after all, who just cheers when they can scale light poles, ride garbage trucks, and nonchalantly set stuff on fire? Fireworks lit up the night sky, and moreover, horses trotted down the street as if this was the Wild West; somewhere, a traffic light was indeed fighting for its life.
If chaos had a ring championship, Philly would win back-to-back titles. There's truly no place in the world like Philadelphia—where the love for the Eagles is as strong as the urge to climb literally anything after a big win.
As soon as the news came out, someone (@z_korpics) took to his X account and commented:
"Yall never seen concrete cowboys?"
In true Philly style, fans rode horseback into the streets like they had won the Kentucky Derby rather than the Super Bowl, victory laps notwithstanding. One mystified commenter perhaps summed it best: "Y'all never seen concrete cowboys?"
Because this is no football town anymore: It's the entire action-movie package. Between the fireworks, fire-starting, and impromptu rodeo, all that was missing was a dramatic slow-motion shot of an Eagles fan tipping their cowboy hat while holding a cheesesteak.
As expected, the internet had thoughts—because nothing says 'Philly just won' like absolute mayhem and a timeline full of memes. Some were in awe, others just perplexed ("Why are there so many horses?!"), while a few just shrugged and accepted the bedlam, knowing this was life as an Eagles fan.
Whether people were psyched, terrified, or sidlingly entertained, one thing was certain: if you didn't know what a 'Philly celebration' looked like before, you definitely do now. Let us walk you through how the netizens have reacted!
Netizens have reacted as Philly fans celebrate the Super Bowl win

"Since they greased the poles they pulled out the horses"
Another one (@cshughes45) hilariously commented:
"We just different"
A netizen (@Buddyboybets) expressed:
"celebration in Philly is wild and unforgettable"
A user (@the_det_times) commented:
"How tf do they have horses"
One netizen (@KeyesKaron38675) commented:
"This city can’t be real"
Now, the horses have become the MVPs of the Eagles' victory parade. As other fans climbed poles and others started fireworks, a few people chose to celebrate by channeling their inner cowboy and trotting down the streets as if they were in a movie.
Social media couldn't get enough of it—others were wondering how anybody pulled it off, and a few were just wondering, 'Where did all of these horses even come from?' Wholly planned or completely unhinged, one thing's for sure: only in Philly can an impromptu rodeo break out after winning the Super Bowl.
At the end of the day, Philly did what Philly does best—celebrate in the most over-the-top, slightly chaotic, and completely unforgettable way possible. From fireworks to pole climbing to the surprise equestrian division of Eagles fandom, this victory party had it all.
Whether you were in the streets riding a horse, disbelieving from home, or just trying to figure out why climbing things is so important to the process, one thing is for certain—Philly wouldn't have it any other way.
