A questionable late penalty on Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry with less than two minutes remaining meant that a scintillating Super Bowl 57 had a bit of an underwhelming finish.
Kansas City won its second Super Bowl in four years by beating the Eagles 38-35 on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona. It was an exciting back-and-forth game that saw the Chiefs claw back from a 10-point halftime deficit.The Chiefs were driving and faced third-and-8 at the Eagles 15-yard line with 1:54 remaining when Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw incomplete to JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Replays showed that Bradberry made light contact with Smith-Schuster, though it didn't appear to affect the play much. Still, the cornerback said he wasn't upset at officials for the call.Referee Carl Cheffers said it was a “clear case of a jersey grab.” “The receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside," Cheffers told a pool reporter."The defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside. So, therefore, we called defensive holding.”
Kansas City was able to essentially run out the clock from that point forward. Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon made a smart move on the ensuing down, purposefully sliding 2 yards short of the goal line instead of scoring a touchdown. Mahomes then was able to kneel twice as the clock ran down after the Eagles used their final timeout.___Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
