The Philadelphia Eagles shocked much of the football world a week ago when they blew out Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, 40-22, in a game that was far more lopsided than the final score would suggest.
While the blowout may have been surprising, not many were shocked by the outpouring of support and celebration from fans in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love has long been regarded as one of the best sports towns in the United States, and they lived up to it during the Super Bowl parade on Friday.
According to National Public Radio, city officials estimate that more than a million people lined the 3 1/2-mile parade route. It was a celebration that gave us endless content, with photos and videos of inebriated fans and athletes alike basking in the glow of victory.
It also gave us this drone video of the crowd, which has quickly gone viral on social media.

The video features a long drone shot over a sea of people, circling around groups who are stacked on top of what looks like a bus or a large truck. The massive group of people provides an incredible look at the size of the skyscrapers in the background.
Another funny video that came from the celebration was Eagles general mananger Howie Roseman getting hit in the head by a beer can. While the hit ended up drawing blood, Roseman handled it like a true champion,

Roseman proceeded to give a speech at the celebration, and appropriately stated "I bleed for this city!" to a raucous round of applause.
