Everyone knows about the "questionable" call from the Super Bowl this past weekend.

On the Kansas City Chiefs' final drive, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry was called for holding on a key third down play.

It was a penalty.

No matter the situation or time left in the game – the call has to be made when there is a penalty committed. That's exactly what the officials did, and the Chiefs ran the clock down, finishing it off with a field goal that was the difference in the game.

Ultimately, the call helps them to secure the victory, but the call also wasn't the sole reason that the Eagles lost.

The Chiefs played a squeaky clean second half and deserved the victory for their performance on the field.

Alas, one Philadelphia broadcaster heavily blamed the officiating for the Eagles' loss to the Chiefs.

The rant isn't the greatest look for Barkann as even Eagles players and coaches admitted that it was a penalty by Bradberry.

Heck, even Bradberry himself, said that he did hold on the play. The refs simply called what they should have.

Regardless, Barkann clearly wasn't happy about it, similarly to many Eagles fans around the world. The call was a tough one for Philly but correct.

It shouldn't overshadow their team's performance, nor the special performance by the Chiefs to win the game.
