As victory parties go, this was always going to be a big one.
Having beaten the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to take the Super Bowl тιтle, the Philadelphia Eagles made sure that their celebrations were as triumphant as their win.
But while quarterback Jalen Hurts was named Most Valuable Player, the true star of the team party at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside was head coach since 2021 Nick Sirianni.
He stunned his players with a 3 am rendition of Bobby Brown’s My Prerogative alongside the legendary singer as he took to the stage in the H๏τel conference room.
Just hours earlier, family man Sirianni, 43, had been joined on the field by his three children, Jacob, 11, Taylor, 7 and Miles, 4, as he beamed from ear to ear.
But things got a lot more messy as the night went on.

Sirianni’s fans and players sang along with him as he dominated the party before leaving at just shy of 4 am.
An onlooker said: ‘Nick looked like he was the happiest guy in the world, he shocked everyone by getting on the stage and singing.
‘He was belting the song out with his hand in the air looking like he was having the time of his life. He was leading the celebrations and was partying harder than his players.’
After jumping off the stage, Sirianni then grabbed a cigar and smoked it as he strolled around the room, posing for pictures with delighted fans.
It was perhaps a strange night for the head coach, who was part of the Chiefs’s coaching staff for three years before scoring his job with the Eagles.
‘No wonder he was having the time of his life,’ said the onlooker. ‘He went from being a more junior coach at the Chiefs to beating them in the Super Bowl.’
Sirianni punched the air and encouraged the crowd to join in as he belted the lyrics while players and partygoers captured his impromptu set.
In between his moment on stage, rappers BigXthaPlug and Sєxyy Red also performed.
As well as Sirianni’s performance, there was some other showbiz glamour in the room.
Fantastic Four actor Miles Teller was a guest of honor as a huge Eagles fan. He followed Sirianni onto the stage where his favorite team’s star players touchingly spoke to him about his house burning down in the LA wild fires.
But there was nowhere near as much sympathy for others – namely the Chiefs.
Taking aim at their rivals as they hit the stage, the Eagles were flipping off the losing team, saying: ‘f*** the Chiefs.’
‘They weren’t holding back,’ said our snitch. ‘They were going for it, they were so pleased with themselves and they had no time for the Chiefs, there was lots of chanting, lots of excitement.
‘They were obviously really pleased with themselves and there was absolutely no love or any sympathy for the losing team.’
The venue was just a stone’s throw from the Caesar’s Superdome, where some hours before they picked up the trophy.

Meanwhile, their rivals – understandably – scrapped their own party.
In fact, Chiefs star Travis Kelce quietly met girlfriend Taylor Swift afterwards. Earlier in the evening she had been booed as she sat with her friends, the Haim sisters, at the stadium.
As one NFL insider pointed out though, things would have been very different had the Chiefs won.
‘Can you imagine what a mᴀssive deal would have been made if the Chiefs had won?’ they said. ‘It would have been the Travis and Taylor show.’
Instead though, they sloped off for a quiet night together. But as the insider pointed out, their heads won’t be as sore as Sirianni and his men today.
