Philadelphia's First Super Bowl Title
Despite all that, the Philadelphia Eagles took home the Vince Lombardi trophy. Quarterback Nick Foles led his team to a 41-33 win en route to Super Bowl MVP honors. It was the first-ever Super Bowl championship for the city of Philadelphia, and the fans have been waiting for this moment for what seemed to them like eternity.
The Eagles fanbase is notoriously boisterous. This year's title win for the city certainly didn't yield any exceptions to that behavior, as it seemed like the fans wasted little time in laying waste to everything in their path. People flipped cars, burned couches and smashed windows in a celebratory riot that took place in the hours following the final play of the game.

Not sure what this used to be, but it sure won't serve the same purpose anymore.
