PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Following the parade through Philadelphia, Thursday, the Eagles landed on the “Rocky” steps. The Super Bowl victory rally rolled on with the team descending the art museum steps to Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares.” The incarcerated Philadelphia rapper’s song has become an anthem for the team this season.
Three fighter jets buzzed overhead, as trumpeter Jesse McGuire performed “The Star Spangled Banner.”
Owner Jeffrey Lurie tolf the crowd “Philly, you are super bowl champions. And I have one final message for you: We are just beginning. ”
It’s the Eagles first NFL title in nearly 60 years.
Players took turns thanking the roaring crowd.
Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and Carson Wentz thanked the roaring crowds from the “Rocky” steps at the art museum Thursday, and Jason Kelce gave a rousing lecture on the meaning of the word underdog for Philadelphia.
It was a passionate defense of the coach and general manager and went through all the criticism they have faced over the years.
Malcolm Jenkins also hit the underdog theme: “They doubted us as players, they doubted us as a team.”
