A costly holding call against the Eagles late in Super Bowl LVII evoked quite a reaction from NFL fans on social media, as the Chiefs capitalized on the opportunity to pull out a 38–35 victory in Glendale.
With the game tied, 35-35, with just under two minutes remaining, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked to convert on a third-and-8 with a pass attempt to receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Initially, the play appeared to end with an incompletion after the ball sailed over Smith-Schuster’s head with Eagles cornerback James Bradberry in coverage.
However, the situation quickly turned dire for Philadelphia after the officials threw a penalty flag on Bradberry for defensive holding. The huge call gave the Chiefs a first down and allowed them to run the clock down, setting up kicker Harrison Butker for a 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left in regulation to seal the win.
