Josh Hart leaves early, Nick Sirianni gets a former player drunk, and more reactions to the Eagles’ win
Hart, a Commanders fan, didn’t have fun at the game Sunday — but plenty of others were in a celebratory mood as the Birds advanced to the Super Bowl.
The Eagles are headed to the Super Bowl, and the city of Philadelphia is buzzing with excitement.
That includes a number of Eagles legends, many of whom were in the building for Sunday’s NFC championship win over the Commanders.
The star-studded guest list included honorary captain Nick Foles, who took to Broad Street postgame to celebrate …
Beau Allen, Fletcher Cox, and Chris Long also made the trip to the Linc to support the Birds, and were in the locker room postgame to take part in the celebration.
Allen even got a little help from Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and one of his former teammates.
Sixers forward Guerschon Yabusele also enjoyed the game from the crowd, his first football game ever.
Commanders fan and Knicks forward Josh Hart did not have the best time at the game. According to his Knicks teammate and Eagles fan Jalen Brunson, his fellow Villanova alum left before the start of the fourth quarter.
Philadelphia women’s basketball stars Kahleah Copper and Natasha Cloud were down in Miami for Unrivaled, but they were still watching the Birds.
Dawn Staley couldn’t watch the NFC championship on her team’s flight, but rest assured she was dressed for the occasion.
Saquon Barkley dominated once again, opening the scoring with a 60-yard rushing touchdown on the first offensive play and ending the game with 118 yards and three touchdowns.
Katie and Jane Gaudreau posted tributes to huge Eagles fans Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, who died in August after being struck by a vehicle.
The Birds will face the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. in New Orleans.
