Looting and vandalism has broken out on the streets of Philadelphia after the Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to win the Super Bowl.
Philadelphia Police have issued a public safety alert in the wake of the incidents, saying “Philadelphia police order crowds to disperse and leave city center streets”. Newsweek has contacted the Philadelphia Police Department for further details.

Eagles stop Chiefs three-peat to win second Super Bowl
The Philadelphia Eagles clinched their second Super Bowl title with a commanding 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Jalen Hurts earned MVP honors, amassing 221 passing yards and three total touchdowns. The Eagles’ defense dominated, sacking Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing multiple turnovers, including a pivotal pick-six by Cooper DeJean.
The Chiefs, aiming for a historic three-peat, struggled offensively and faced a 24-0 halftime deficit. Despite a late rally, the Eagles’ early lead proved insurmountable. This win marks a significant redemption for Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni, both of whom have overcome past criticisms.
