After stealing a trip to the Super Bowl from the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, Philadelphia Eagles fans also stole the Vikings’ “Skol” chant.

The Vikings’ signature chant was revised by elated Eagles fans during the second half of the Eagles 38-7 win over the Vikings in the NFC Championship at Lincoln Financial Field and in the streets of Philly after the clock ran out.

Eagles fans chanted “Foles” instead of “Skol” as they clapped their hands above their heads to honor quarterback Nick Foles who who led the Eagles to an 4-1 record after starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 17.

Foles threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday and earned a passer rating of 141.4.
