Earlier this season Buffalo Bills fans made headlines when a Kermit the Frog doll was dressed in a curly wig and a No. 15 Chiefs jersey was hung from a pole.
A photo of the gesture went viral on social media, sparking outrage among Chiefs supporters given the puppet's resemblance to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. His wife, Brittany, remembered the moment and posted about it following the AFC title game victory over the Bills.
“Do we remember this, Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting,” she said at the time.

Fast forward to after the Super Bowl and it appears Philadelphia Eagles fans didn't learn from Bills fans mistakes. Following the team's 40-22 victory, Eagles fans took to the streets where some burned a Kermit the Frog doll.
Fans flocked to social media to call out the Eagles fans for their behavior after the Super Bowl.
"Always been a disgraceful fanbase," one fan said.
"Literally the worst fan base in the league," added another.
"This is the team that most of this country rooted for. Why am I not surprised?" questioned another.
"Philadelphia is a toxic fanbase. Last night was worse than the Bucs loss by a mile, because it gave the worst people in the U.S. the win," said another.
It's one thing to celebrate a well-deserved win, but quite another to suggest violence on the opposing team's quarterback.
