Best of the Philadelphia Police Scanner: Eagles Fans Celebrate First Super Bowl Title

Listen to some of the crazy things Eagles fans are doing, and how Philadelphia police are responding.

Philadelphia Eagles fans took to the streets to celebrate after the team won its first Super Bowl title in franchise history with a 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday night.

We're rounding up sights and sounds from Philadelphia. We're also listening to the Philadelphia police scanner, just like we did after the Eagles beat the Vikings in the NFC Championship game.  

Here are some of things we overheard on the Philadelphia police scanner after the game. We'll continue updating this post as celebrations continue in Philadelphia. 

• "We got people up on a ledge. If they don't belong there can we get them down."

• "Everybody so far is behaving."

• "We're getting calls from Temple police. Cars are driving at high-rate speeds off Broadway."

• "There's about 2,000 people here are the art museum. They're starting to break off."

• "Somebody is flying a drone." 

• "I need one of our wagons with some barricades please at 7100 Germantown."
