PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Thousands of Philadelphia Eagles fans took to the streets to celebrate following their team's 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game.
The Eagles will be playing in their first Super Bowl since they lost to this year's AFC champions the New England Patriots in 2005.
After the game, huge crowds gathered in neighborhoods around the city.
