PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia was awash in green on Valentine's Day to celebrate its Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Swooning fans screamed and cheered Friday as MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie took turns hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the start of the team's victory parade through the City of Brotherly Love.
Many fans camped out along the team's parade route overnight, huddling under blankets and inside tents to secure prime spots near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the Eagles took the stage on the "Rocky" steps.
"You know I told myself that when I got drafted, that I wouldn't come to the Rocky steps until I won a championship," Hurts told cheering fans. "And now we're here."

Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts was definately getting a lot of love from fans on Friday as Philadelphia celebrated the team's championship victory.
Action News spotted one fan with a sign asking Hurts to be her Valentine.
He was all smiles, taking in the victory lap and sporting a Valentine's Day fit for the parade.
Philadlephia's iconic "Love" sculpture also has a new addition in Center City. The sign now says, "Love, Hurts" in honor of the Super Bowl champ.
Action News caught up with Eagles' defensive end Brandon Graham while on board one of the team's celebration buses.
"This is an emotional rollercoaster of, man, its been so great this season and sad that it's over but happy we got to win," Graham said. "But I know that I ain't going nowhere, but it just more of, just mad. These moments, you gotta capture them and that's all I'm trying to do right now."
When asked if he's feeling anything about season 16, he laughed and said, "You know what, we're gonna enjoy this for sure. We're going to enjoy this and we're going to see what happens and, you know, stay tuned."
Action News' Matt O'Donnell and Tamala Edwards cheered from the parade route as the Philadelphia Eagles rolled by.
"What a great feeling, being a fan of this team all these years, seeing the success that they've had. I think I'm gonna start crying Tam," O'Donnell said in the moment.
There was a burst of confetti and screams for the Super Bowl champs.
"It's so great to see these players at a distance. But to see Jalen Hurts, you know, 20 feet away -- Saquon Barkley, Lane Johnson, Brandon Graham -- and the looks on their faces. They're like little boys in a candy store. They're having a great time," Edwards said.
"I hope everyone remembers this moment, remembers being together like this," O'Donnell added.
