How 'bout them Arizona Cardinals?!
In what might be the biggest upset of the year, the previous three-win Cardinals went into Philadelphia and upset the reigning NFC Champion Eagles... just like we all predicted.
As you would assume, Twitter was having a field day with the win, so let's not waste any more time and take a look at some of the best tweets from the win
CHAOS.

The win also delivers a massive shakeup to the NFC playoff picture:
The ultimate Jonathan Gannon revenge game!

The #AZCardinals shock the #Eagles, meaning… the #49ers are the NFC top seed. And the #Cowboys can win the NFC East with a win next week.
Dramatic ramifications.
Even their division rivals were happy to see the win, as it helped the 49ers clinch the top seed in the NFC.

And another team who enjoyed this win? The Cowboys - who jump the Eagles in the NFC East for first place (for now).
They also will be trolling those birds after they clowned the 'Boys for losing to AZ back in week three.
Eagle fans have spent the past 98 days clowning on Cowboy fans for losing to the Cardinals on the road missing 3 starting O-lineman… Just to lose to the Cardinals at home in December and put their fate in the hands of the Cowboys #DallasCowboys #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/e36cWJLGdJ

Furthermore, the Cards' win secures the number one overall pick for the Bears courtesy of the Panthers' loss today.
Thanks to the #Panthers loss, the #Bears now have the No. 1 pick.

This was a big win not just for the Cardinals, but also for head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Good for Gannon. He gets last laugh. I dont think Philly fans in any sports like Arizona. First baseball

Now this.
Gannon has been scrutinized all year for the Cardinals' lack of wins, but he has quality wins over the Cowboys, Steelers, and now the Eagles. Even sweeter is the Eagles are his former employer.
By the way, that fan base wanted to fire Gannon after the Super Bowl collapse.

It's a sweet, sweet victory for Gannon.
It's also a sweet victory for fans of Arizona sports, as for the second time this season the valley sports teams have caused Philly sports fans to turn on their own teams.
Arizona teams causing Philly fans to boo their own teams in 2023 has been a nice highlight.

Savor the sweet, sweet taste of victory, Cardinals fans! This one feels as good as any in recent memory and gives them some major bragging rights.
As many would say, this was your Super Bowl. And for once, that's not an insult.
