The San Francisco 49ers are blazing into the playoffs with Brock Purdy at the helm. The franchise has tasted success and has never backed down, with Purdy standing undefeated and scripting records since his first career start. The Red and Gold would clash with the Eagles for the NFC Championship. But the Niners faithful have so much confidence that they pulled off a move that has left the Birds in rage.

Philadelphia is iconic. Several things raise the bar. But the famous Rocky Balboa statue, which is at the bottom of the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is what truly stands out. The Niners fans targeted the fictitious hero and did something the Eagles fans would loathe.

Niners Faithful vs. The Birds: It’s a WAR!

The Niners fans made a move over the Nine-foot statue based on a fictional Philadelphia-based boxer. The Rocky Balboa statue was spotted sporting a cut-up 49ers shirt before Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Eagles. The sculpture is symbolic since Sylvester Stallone commissioned it for the movie Rocky III, and he donated it to the city after the film’s shooting wrapped up.

The Eagles fans were not happy with the incident.

“He’s Been Dying to Say ’Brock”: NFL World Trolls WWE Legend After Bold Brock Purdy Claim Draws Massive Boos in Philadelphia

A user simply said, “You don’t mess with the rocky statue.”

Another user said that things are getting hot.

But this user had some savagery at the expense of Brock Purdy.

Another user said it all with a GIF.

Moreover, this user locked how the Niners fans did it in the nighttime.

This user did not handle the disrespect.

Another user claimed it would not end well for the Niners.

A Niners fan had a wild response to it.

It is not the first time that the Rocky Statue faced such disrespect. But how did that turn out for the opposition?

Are the San Francisco 49ers in trouble?

The symbolic Rocky statue did not face disrespect for the first time by the Niners. The Minnesota Fans did it back in 2018 in broad daylight. However, that did not end well for the Vikings.

When the Eagles last won the conference title in 2018, Vikings fans carried out a similar ploy. They infuriated the locals by dressing the Italian Stallion in the Vikings’ attire. But Philadelphia would have the last laugh. With a triumphant 38-7 victory, they delivered the Vikings their well-deserved rebuke.

Is Brock Purdy’s undefeated streak in jeopardy? It is subject to witness.
