PHILADELPHIA (AP) A Philadelphia Eagles fan whose attempt to rally subway passengers for a playoff game ended with him running into a concrete pole says he’s doing OK and a viral video shows the ”passion” of Philly fans.

Jigar Desai said his pain eased with the Eagles’ 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship game Sunday night.

The mishap occurred while Desai was heading to the game after having a few drinks while watching the New England Patriots defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship game.

The 42-year-old Eagles season ticket holder from suburban Philadelphia said he got pumped up watching a group of Eagles fans on a train heading in the opposite direction and wanted to get them excited. Video captured Desai Vikings Kendall Wright Jersey , wearing a Brian Dawkins jersey, running with the train car – then hitting the pole and bumping into the train.

”Yeah, I hit the pole, but the passion is there Authentic Sebastian Janikowski Jersey ,” Desai said. ”It reflects the passion of the entire city. We are good fans. Yeah, there are a couple of bad apples in the mix, in any city you’re going to find that, but I think as a whole we have supported this team for years and years and years. I think this city is ready to bring home the hardware.”

”I’m not throwing bottles or punching horses Cheap Tremaine Edmunds Jersey ,” Desai said. ”It was just running into a pole.”
