Celebrities React to New England Patriots & Philadelphia Eagles Heading to Super Bowl LII
Eagles Nation and Pats fans: See you at Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4!
The New England Patriots defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 during the AFC Championship game on Sunday to extend their record to the team’s tenth overall Super Bowl appearance, including quarterback Tom Brady’s eighth Super Bowl appearance and coach Bill Belichick’s 11th. In addition, the Patriots now have the chance to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl wins, with six, in franchise history.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles became NFC Champions over the Minnesota Vikings 38-7, clinching their first Super Bowl appearance since February 2005, when they first took on the Patriots during XXXIX.
The rematch had plenty of celebrity supporters both in the stadium stands and in Hollywood.

Olivia Culpo ran onto the field at Gillette Stadium and into the arms of her boyfriend, Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola. “BABY GOING TO THE #SUPERBOWL,” she wrote with several heart emojis.
Nearby at Lincoln Financial Field, Bradley Cooper was in his hometown of Philly to cheer on his team. (Fun fact: Cooper also played an Eagles fan in Silver Linings Playbook, for which he received an Oscar nomination.)
Also in the crowd were Bill Cosby, NBA legend Charles Barkley and Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout.
