Fire, chaos erupts in Philly as rowdy Eagles fans celebrate Super Bowl win

Fires burned, cars flipped and street lights came tumbling down as hard-partying Philadelphia fans lived down to their reputation Sunday night and celebrated their first Super Bowl victory.

Crazed celebrants packed the Ritz-Carlton hotel awning and dove into the cheering crowd below, trusting that they would be caught. The awning later collapsed amid some of the wildest moments in the revelry.

A handful of Pennsylvania's most devoted football enthusiasts jeered Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady as they watched a Christmas tree burn to a crisp.

"F--k Tom Brady," they bellowed, according to video on social media.

As expected, massive crowds braved rain and cold and descended in Center City for the spontaneous party that erupted the moment the game ended.

One fan tagged a sidewalk, again with the message “F--k Tom Brady, and Free Meek Mill,” a slap at the losing Patriots and nod to the Philly rapper jailed for a probation violation last year. Meek’s song “Dreams and Nightmares” was the Eagles’ anthem during their title run.

Police scrambled to keep up with throngs of fans in the gridlocked streets as fireworks shot into a sky and a possible drone hovered overhead, according to police scanner traffic.

By 12:30 a.m., police were began breaking up large pockets of fans flooding the streets.

One veteran police sergeant estimated that 100,000 people had descended on downtown Philadelphia, a city of 1.5 million people.

Police cleared the busy Mayfair section of the city in just 10 minutes, but a much larger crowd lingered on Broad St., in the heart of Philly.

Piles of empty cans and bottles of booze were left behind in the suddenly empty streets that once saw sports fans passing around celebratory beers.

The moment Christian Monti learned his beloved Eagles were headed to the Super Bowl, he naturally had their logo tattooed on his buttocks.

“That was the reason the Eagles won,” a pal said as the proud tat owner gave a full Monti display of his ink on the right check.

Nimble revelers managed to scale greased-up utility poles and vehicles to the dismay of police who urged them to come down. City workers spent Sunday morning slicking the poles with hydraulic fluid, hoping it would be harder to climb than the Crisco used two weeks prior.

Despite hailing from Boston, Jake Morrissey identifies as a lifelong Eagles fan and while perched on a bus stop with no cares or no police officers nearby to stop him.

“We don’t care about the cops,” the brazen 18-year-old told the Daily News.

The number of arrests was not immediately available as mayhem descended on the home of the Eagles.

Meanwhile, in Boston, riot-geared cops were dispatched to funeral gatherings after the Patriots lost 41-33.

Boston police’s last tweet wished their Philly counterparts luck ahead of the night’s mayhem.

“Congratulations to you and your city. Please be safe out there,” the Massachusetts officials said.
