The NFL world cannot believe what the Eagles fans did, and that too after making it to the Super Bowl. Many fans called the Philly fan base classless. Others are happy the Niners group didn’t escalate things. A fan thinks the act of throwing eggs at opposing fans is classless.
Throwing eggs and other stuff at random people you don’t know just because they support a different team…
…that’s just so classless.

The Eagles probably lost a supporter due to the egg incident.
I was going to root for the Eagles in the SB, maybe not so much now they are dirtbag fans huh?

The Philly fan base needs to reign in some of the crass elements in them. Whatever may be the case, Jalen Hurts and Co. are through to the Super Bowl after the Niners’ demolition.

Jalen Hurts demolishes the Niners
Jalen Hurts showed why he is one of the best dual-threat QBs in the NFL. From scoring touchdowns on the ground to running away from pressure to get a first down, Hurts did it all. And his team gave their QB able support.
Hurts threw 15 completions for just 121 passing yards. He didn’t throw a single touchdown throughout the game. But the Eagles scored four rushing touchdowns including one from Hurts, through a cheeky QB sneak play. The Niners’ offense couldn’t settle in as their QB Brock Purdy went out with an elbow injury in their first drive of the game. The Eagles won 31-7.
