The Philadelphia Eagles booked their seat at the Super Bowl in Arizona next month after a shutdown win over the strongest defense in the league. The Birds overcame the mighty San Francisco 49ers, who struggled without an injured Brock Purdy. And things got ugly in Philly after the game.
A fight broke out after the game between Niners fans and Philly fans after the 31-7 domination by Jalen Hurts and Co. And the Eagles had some help from Gotham with an unusual beacon of justice coming to their rescue. It was Batman. And the fans cheered the dark knight for stepping up.
The Philadelphia Eagles fanbase got a little rowdy
Fans of the Philadelphia Eagles also threw eggs at the travelling San Fran fans. And head coach Nick Sirianni will have to answer for the hooliganism in the next press conference.

However, for now, he is just in celebration and preparation mode. Sirianni became the second head coach in Eagles franchise history to reach the Super Bowl after Doug Pederson took the Birds to their first championship in 2018.
Only one man can stop the crime in Philly tonight.

Fly @Eagles Fly! We’re going Green and White in honor of the Eagles NFC Championship Victory. pic.twitter.com/RNiwbCIkt7

Fans were a little taken aback by the New York support. First Gotham’s hero showed up. And then the Empire State Building blazed with the Philly Green after the win. And the unusual hospitality surprised the city of Philadelphia.
This was not the Eagles’ locker room Batman-Trio
Also, this time it was not the Batmen of the Philadelphia Eagles. A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins are the ‘swole Batman’, ‘skinny Batman’, and the ‘fast Batman’ of the squad, respectively. However, it was defensive back Darius Slay, who came up with the nicknames and the cape celebrations on the sidelines.
Moreover, there could have been a fourth Batman on the Philly squad as Jason Kelce also wore a Batman mask after the win against the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in the regular season. And with the NFC Crown in hand and the Super Bowl ahead, the Batmans (not Batmen) are in “fly Eagles fly” mode.
WATCH THIS STORY: Jalen Hurts bolsters his MVP credentials ahead of Patrick Mahomes with a notable record
Only Patrick Mahomes stands in the way of the Eagles. Jalen Hurts just set the NFL record with his first 15 rushing touchdowns as a quarterback this season, including the postseason. However, Mahomes just eliminated Joe Burrow and the Bengals with a semi-injured ankle and a back-spasm-ridden, Travis Kelce. And Batman will surely be present on February 12 at the State Farm Arena to root for the Eagles.
