After days of anticipation the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Minneapolis in Super Bowl LII. Both teams put up an impressive offensive display, setting a record for most yards in a Super Bowl. It was the Eagles’ first ever Super Bowl win.

The team and fans were nervous, as they lost their starting quarterback Carson Wentz in Week 14 to a torn ACL in a game against the Los Angeles Rams.

“Doug Peterson had the ballsiest play call of anyone I have ever seen. Junior Aidan Pero said, “Fourth and 1 and he pulled out the Philly Special and my jaw hit the floor,” junior Aidan Pero said. This put them in the best possible situation to come out on top.

Following the victory, fans took to the streets climbing poles, publicly drinking and generally disturbing the peace.

The fans couldn’t have been more excited and this is how they choose to show it.

Along with many others, Coombs made his way to Philly to witness the happiness, the excitement and the legacy of the Eagles.

“The amount of joy in the air was infectious,” senior Michael Coombs said. “I cried my eyes out for days after the win and seeing that amount of celebration was overwhelming.”

West Essex students were filled with happiness at loss of the Patriots.

Most viewers expected the Patriots to win, so seeing the underdogs come out on top was exciting.

“It was a huge win and it means a lot to Eagles fans everywhere,” senior Justin Maestoso said, “This is the beginning of the new era.”
