Philadelphia could make sports history if the Eagles LOSE the Super Bowl

Philadelphia may be the ultimate sports town, but it could find itself on the wrong side of history if the Eagles lose the Super Bowl at the end of this month.

Incredibly, it could become the first city to have three consecutive sports teams lose in professional championship games, after its baseball and football teams recently fell at the final hurdle.

The first two came in the space of 24 hours in November, when the Phillies lost the World Series 4-2 to the Houston Astroswhile the Union was on the losing side of a penalty shootout against them Los Angeles FC to the MLS Cup Final

It resulted in a poor end to very impressive seasons for both of these teams, and the Eagles will be desperate to avoid following in their footsteps when they travel to Arizona in a fortnight’s time.

Despite the potential for a historic outcome, Philadelphia is currently in the midst of an all-time year for its sports teams, with the Phillies and Union unexpectedly in the hunt for a championship.

The 76ers, meanwhile, are currently 20-4 over the past few weeks and 32-16 on the season as they sit second in the NBA’s Eastern Conference and look to make a run to the Finals. the NBA this season.

Despite warnings from Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney to celebrate “with joy, safety and respect,” several Eagles fans were seen crashing through a glass bus stop.

The Eagles’ trip to the Super Bowl will be perhaps the most high-profile of the four teams, after they secured a blowout victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts turned in an MVP-worthy performance to lead his team to a 31-7 victory at Lincoln Financial Field, prompting wild celebrations on the city’s streets.

However, there were some unpleasant scenes as riot police tried to quell rowdy crowds after the match, and some fans were filmed falling through the glass roof of a bus stop after climbing onto it to continue the party
