After the Philadelphia Eagles’ tough loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, angry Philly fans hit the streets to vent their frustrations —and not exactly in a healthy way. Footage was shared on social media of fans destroying property, provoking police officers, and getting forced off the streets.

From The New York Post:
Broad Street looked like a sea of green as heartbroken Philly fans climbed traffic lights and chanted obscenities after the Eagles’ stunning 38-35 defeat, according to NJ.com and videos posted to social media.
Police issued warnings to rowdy fans, some of whom were seen igniting fireworks on the ground, climbing greased poles and jumping onto bus shelters, Fox News reported.
“The thing is, win or lose… philly still gonna be philly bc ITS A PHILLY THING,” Twitter use @Annie_Wu_22 wrote, sharing footage of a crowd yelling, “F— the Chiefs.”
At one point, someone threw a section of a fence, but it did not hit anyone, ABC 6 reported.
Dozens of police officers and SWAT teams stood ready in riot gear as they ordered the revelers to disperse over a speaker.
Police deployed smoke bombs around 11 p.m. to defuse the crowds and get people to head home, videos posted to Twitter show.
Some fans were seen being taken into custody, but there was no immediate word on how many arrests were made, according to ABC 6.
