However, the player who called for the penalty acknowledged that he had indeed committed the offense.<\/p>\n<p>With 1:54 remaining in the game and the score tied at 35-35, the Kansas City Chiefs were sitting with a third and eight on the Eagles\u2019 15-yard line. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes signaled for wide receiver JuJuSmith-Schuster to turn and head toward the offensive lines. Once the ball was snapped, he zigzagged toward the center of field before turning around and heading toward the sideline. Eagles cornerback James Bradberry reached out and briefly grabbed Smith-Schuster\u2019s jersey before the two headed toward the corner of the endzone. Mahomes attempted to pass the ball over their heads, but Bradberry was flagged for holding. This gave the Chiefs an immediate first down and allowed them to run down the clock to eight seconds before they scored the game-winning field goal.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s right before the jersey pull which also looks like holding too <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OW5bvE1nsZ\">pic.twitter.com\/OW5bvE1nsZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Pete Scantlebury (@PeteScantlebury) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeteScantlebury\/status\/1624974786668421120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Huge Holding Call a href=&#8221;https:\/\/t.co\/rvWkQmG5yV&#8221;>pic.twitter.com\/rvWkQmG5yV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arye Pulli (@AryePulliTSP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AryePulliTSP\/status\/1624968721742630913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside,\u201d Carl Cheffers is the head refereehttps:\/\/www.theringer.com\/nfl\/2023\/2\/13\/23597435\/holding-call-super-bowl-eagles-chiefs-james-bradberry&#8221;>explained<\/a>. \u201cThe defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside.

Super Bowl? Huh? Huh? That wins the game. Game over. Kneel it out. Kick a field goal. You got six seconds left on the whole f***ing clock? It\u2019s over. There\u2019s a chance that Butker makes his field goal, then Eagles are available to move, they\u2019ve scored 35 points doing everything, they go down, they kick a field goal, obviously we have an overtime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I need to say is, hey refs, can\u2019t f***ing call that there. Okay?\u201d McAfee did not stop there. \u201cIt\u2019s not about you. Now was there a hold? I guess. If you stop and go frame by frame, he had his hands on him, but nonetheless, at that stage?
