Police say someone was stabbed about a half-block off the parade route. No details were given and the personr17;s condition wasnr17;t revealed.
Throngs of adoring fans swarmed the city to see their champs parade up Broad Street. Overall Carlos Dunlap Jerse , the crowds were buoyant and peaceful. Therer17;s no word on any arrests.
Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney had asked fans to celebrate with passion and pride after Sundayr17;s wild postgame celebration was marred by small pockets of r1;knuckleheadsr1; who resorted to violence and vandalism.
The biggest problem facing parade-goers Thursday afternoon was making the trip home on mass transit. One heavily used subway station was closed about an hour after the victory rally ended due to overcrowding.

The championship Philadelphia Eagles ended their raucous, emotional rally by giving props to their fans.
Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and Carson Wentz thanked the roaring crowds from the r1;Rockyr1; steps at the art museum Thursday, and Jason Kelce gave a rousing lecture on the meaning of the word underdog for Philadelphia.

Malcolm Jenkins also hit the underdog theme: r1;They doubted us as players, they doubted us as a team.r1;
The team descended the art museum steps to Meek Millr17;s r1;Dreams and Nightmares.r1; The incarcerated Philadelphia rapperr17;s song has become an anthem for the team this season.

12:30 p.m.
The championship Philadelphia Eagles are making their way through the jubilant throngs of fans at the cityr17;s first-ever Super Bowl parade, but donr17;t expect any official estimate of the crowd size.
The city has said they arenr17;t planning to release any crowd size estimates after Thursdayr17;s festivities, making any number a guess as easily inflatable as a football (sorry Pats fans).
But therer17;s certainly a massive, roaring crowd. Easily hundreds of thousands of groupies are lining the 5-mile (8-kilometer) route from the stadium to the art museumr17;s r1;Rockyr1; steps. Itr17;s a much longer route than the Phillies had for their 2008 World Series championship parade in 2008, and more spread out than the crowds for Pope Francisr17;s visit in 2015.
Organizers prepared for as many as 2 million people.

The Philadelphia Eagles are thanking the fans and sharing their championship glory as the Super Bowl parade makes its way up Broad Street, the main thoroughfare from the teamr17;s stadium to city hall.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie stood atop an open-air double-decker bus along with quarterbacks Nick Foles, Carson Wentz and third-stringer Nate Sudfeld as they made their way through the throngs. Lurie held a sign reading r1;Thank You Fansr1; and a smiling Super Bowl MVP Foles brandished the Vince Lombardi trophy. Coach Doug Pederson disembarked from the bus to show off the trophy to the thrilled crowds; other players tossed T-shirts to fans along the route.
And Jason Kelce walked along r11; dressed in full Mummers regalia looking somewhat like Aladdin r11; shaking hands with fans and leading them in chants.
Hundreds of thousands of roaring, jubilant fans are in position to cheer their heroes along the way to the art museumr17;s r1;Rockyr1; steps.

Many players are sporting their parade finest: Chris Long is donning a faux full-length fur coat over an Allen Iverson 76ers jersey. Jason Kelce is in full Mummers regalia Patriots Danny Shelton Jersey , faintly resembling an Aladdin costume in a nod to Philadelphiar17;s raucous annual parade on New Yearr17;s Day.
