Did Eagles get robbed with late Super Bowl penalty? Not if you ask the man who committed it.
🎈A late Philadelphia Eagles penalty sent fans and social media into a frenzy, lamenting the referees and accusing the NFL of rigging Super Bowl 57.
🎈But the player called for holding, cornerback James Bradberry, said afterward it was the correct call.
🎈That didn't stop fans of the Eagles -- and ones who were neutral for the big game -- from becoming outraged when the holding call allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock Sunday and win the Super Bowl, 38-35.
🎈Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had the ball 15 yards from the end zone with 1:54 on the clock and Super Bowl 57 tied at 35.
🎈On third-and-8, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback took the shotgun snap and looked left. Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat won his pass rush and was breathing down Mahomes' neck.
🎈The Super Bowl MVP had to get rid of the ball and tossed a prayer to the end zone. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could not run under it. The Eagles, regardless of whether the Chiefs took the lead on a field goal, would get another chance to tie the game — or perhaps put together a game-winning drive.
🎈Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon picked up a first down and slid down at the 1-yard line. Mahomes knelt twice before kicker Harrison Butker came out to finish the job — and drive a stake through the collective heart of Philadelphia.
