The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions again. While it feels amazing, there is something lingering by people who chose the Eagles to win it all.
The penalty flag on James Bradberry that was called a defensive holding. Everyone is talking about it right now when they simply shouldn't be.
Now, I may be biased, but it was an actual hold. You watch the footage and Bradberry is quite literally tugging on JuJu Smith-Schuster's jersey, making him slow down as he tried to head up field.
This is controversial right now. Eagles fans are mad, and they should be if we are being honest. I mean, they did lose the game, so, they should be upset.
The Chiefs won though, and no Kansas City fans should be feeling bad, especially not when the guy who committed the penalty says it was in fact a penalty.
"It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide," Bradberry said at his locker after the game.
If the guy who did it isn't disputing it one bit, I'd say it's safe to assume it was the right call. I mean, he even said he was hoping he would get away with it.
That isn't the reason the Eagles lost the game. It was because when their defense needed to, they couldn't stop Mahomes and the offense. They couldn't generate a pass rush or anything that we all thought they would.
After the game, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said something very similar.
"It always appears to be one call. … That is not what it is," he said after the game.
The Chiefs are Super Bowl champions, and if anyone tries to argue with you that it wasn't a hold, just show them Bradberry saying it was.
