PHILADELPHIA -- Workers in Philadelphia have greased light poles in a bid to preventEaglesfans from climbing them after the team's NFC Championship Game win.

Officials say the grease should make the poles too slippery to climb.

The workers applying the grease are jokingly calling themselves the "Crisco Cops."

Once it seemed like the Eagles would walk away with a victory, the Philadelphia Police tweeted out a friendly reminder to fans.

The Eagles defeated the Minnesota Vikings38-7 on Sunday night to earn a spot in the Super Bowl in Minneapolis on Feb. 4.
