Signs of unrest surfaced almost immediately after the team's defeat Sunday Heartbroken fans reportedly swarming City Hall and clashing with police

Mayhem broke out in the City of Brotherly Love last night following the Philadelphia Eagles' narrow Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Signs of unrest surfaced almost immediately after the team's 38-35 defeat Sunday night - with disgruntled fans swarming City Hall and clashing with cops that had been stationed throughout the city in case of such an outcome.

Police scanner audio after 10:30pm suggested police had made multiple arrests, as citizens were seen scaling lampposts, chanting 'f*** the Chiefs', and hurling glass bottles throughout the city's Downtown neighborhood.

Footage circulating on social media also shows several residents lighting fireworks, with others egging on armed SWAT teams tasked with keeping the peace.

In one shocking clip, a group of Philadelphians were seen lighting fireworks, with some reports indicating the explosives are being thrown at officers.

Initial reports said that cops used tear gas to deter any further disruptions, but that turned out not to be the case.

The loss is compounded by the fact the city's baseball team, the Phillies, similarly crashed out of the World Series just a few months ago.

Super Bowl. Close game, time running out...Opponent within the red zone. Third down. The one thing that ought to be on every defenders mind: DON’T HOLD!!! What does the guy do?

Philadelphia sports fans are the absolute worst in North America.

I’m surprised to see any of them even walking on their hind legs.

Not only didn’t I follow one second of this Super Bowl … but I didn’t even know which team won until around 12:00 today when I had lunch with a business associate and saw the news report on the TV at the sports bar.

Players aren’t far behind, the puck from Patrick Kane’s game winning goal in the 2010 Stanley Cup finals was stolen by one of the Flyers.

I traveled to and stayed in PHL maybe 50+ times in my business life.

With out any reservation: PHL has the most rude, crude, ill-bred residents of any place I've ever been. The city reflects them. It is a sh^t hole.

No riots in KC, just a parade.

No riots when KC lost a few years back either.
