NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Empire State Building lit up in green and white after the Philadelphia Eagles NFC Championship win over the Washington Commanders. Philadelphia won 55-24 and will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The Empire State Building account on X posted 'I'm sorry I have to do this.'

After the Philadelphia Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl by defeating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship, the Empire State Building was lit with Eagles' green and white to honor the New York Giants' biggest rival.

The Philadelphia Eagles' victory in the NFC Championship Game to advance to Super Bowl LIX, led by Saquon Barkley having perhaps the greatest season by any running back in NFL history, marked yet another humiliation in a year rife with them for football fans in New York City.

The Empire State Building, begging forgiveness via X from New Yorkers, lit up in the green and white colors of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night after their win in the NFC Championship Game. “We will be lighting tonight for the winners of the AFC and NFC Championships ,” building operators warned on social media before the games.
