PHILADELPHIA -- Fans filled the streets of Philadelphia Sunday night after the Eagles' big win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.

"I've never been more happy in my entire life," said one fan.

Fans started packing parts of the city moments after learning they were going back to the Super Bowl.

Since the Eagles' 2018 win, families are sticking to tradition.

"Back in 2018, he was a baby and I went out in the same block and same street," explained Andres Arias.

The crowd became rowdy at times as the party continued into the night.

At least one person was arrested for vandalizing a police car and there was destruction to the top of a bus stop.

Jalen Hurts had one of Philadelphia's four rushing touchdowns and the Eagles soared into the Super Bowl, forcing both of San Francisco's quarterbacks out of the game with injuries and beating the wounded 49ers 31-7 on Sunday.

"Obviously this is something you dream about as a kid. All these guys on the team have dreamt about this their entire lives, too," coach Nick Sirianni said. "Just to be able to do this together with a bunch of men that love each other, that are connected to each other, that will do anything for each other is pretty sweet."

The Eagles will face former coach Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium on February 12.
