PHILADELPHIA -- An overzealous Eagles fan whose attempt to rally subway passengers went viral when he ran into a concrete pole says he is OK.

  A few arrests were made before and after the Eagles' NFC Championship Game victory on Sunday, including one man who is accused of punching a police horse and a mounted officer.

Jigar Desai told The Associated Press that his pain eased after the Eagles' 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship game Sunday night.

Thomas Emmet Ashton, who recorded the video, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that Desai, who was in a Brian Dawkins jersey, was running alongside the train trying to rally passengers before he crashed into a pole.

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.

He says 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 him running with the train car, before hitting the pole and bumping into the train.

Desai says his post-game celebration was a lot tamer.
