Forget Rocky.
We have some new lovable underdogs in Philly.
Meet Dougie and Nicky.
OK, they're not exactly new. The Eagles have been around awhile.
But there is something different about this team.
There is no obstacle they can't overcome. That includes losing one star after another this season, culminating in what almost everyone believed would be a death blow to the team's chances. When potential league MVP quarterback's knee exploded, most believed the Birds would follow suit.
Instead, they rallied behind a coach who is an underdog story all his own, and a quarterback who was sent packing just a few years ago.
The result? These underdog Eagles are now going to the Super Bowl.
In the process they lifted the entire region on their shoulders.
You can read our editorial salute to the underdogs who so perfectly capture the city and region here.
In the meantime, the celebrations continues.
As you can guess, anything Eagles-related, especially all that new NFC champion gear, is suddenly a very hot commodity. We have the details here.
And if you want to continue the party in Minneapolis for Super Bowl LII, well let's just say you better bring your wallet. Those details are here.
