Now, listen to it as only the voice of the Eagles Merrill Reese can call it:

"No good! No good!" Reese shouts.

"No senor! No senor! No senor!" Ricardo screamed in excitement.

Even the Bears mascot, Staley Da Bear, couldn't believe his eyes! In fact, he might have fainted.

With the 'double doink,' Eagles across the Delaware Valley were jubilant - and showed it on video.

There were the fans at Xfinity Live in South Philadelphia near the home of the Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field.

And, of course, Action News viewers did not disappoint in their celebrations.
