Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker may have been a little overzealous Monday as she and the rest of the city celebrated Philadelphia Eagles’ A spot in the NFC Championship.

Parker addressed the city on Sunday ahead of the snow storm and the deep freeze that was supposed to affect the Northeast. Temperatures were expected to drop into the high-teens on top of about six inches of snow. As she concluded, she expressed her support for the Eagles.

“Let me hear you all say, ELGSES, Eagles! Onward the birds,” she said.

The sentiment was there, but fans noticed the team’s bizarre way of writing and took to social media to discuss it.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley helped break the game open with a late 78-yard touchdown run. Then Philadelphia stopped a surging Rams offense that nearly put together a comeback to win the game or force overtime.

Barkley finished with 205 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

“It was fun, it was the kind of play I was looking for,” Barkley said. “It’s a beautiful thing when things like that happen.”
