A controversial penalty call ended the Eagles' opening drive, and Fox Sports analyst Tom Brady was not happy about the decision to throw a flag on the play.
that officiating could play a role in deciding the game, with some believing the Chiefs would receive an unfair advantage. Those concerns intensified after the Eagles were called for a penalty that stopped a promising drive, and a former Super Bowl MVP believed it was the wrong call., who was engaged in hand-fighting with Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie. Brown caught the pass but was called for offensive pass interference, negating the play and forcing the Eagles to punt.
“Don’t like that one bit,” Brady said. “It’s too critical of a game. The hand-fighting going on down the field. What do you think, Mike?”“Certainly, I agree, there’s some hand-fighting,” Pereira said. “There’s a trip. That’s one that did not need to be called.”Pereira added that the thought process was there was a push-off to the head and not the typical hand-fighting when it gets to the head. Still, Pereira said he still thought it was still not enough for a flag.
“Watching live, it did not look like enough to be a foul, and even on replay, there just isn’t enough there to warrant a flag from SJ Boris Cheek,” theiraccount posted. “Yes, Brown’s hand got up into the facemask of McDuffie, but it was brief and he did not grab and twist the facemask. Unfortunately, the first penalty of the biggest game of the year was a miss, and I don’t think it was even close.
The Eagles eventually got a call in their favor on their next drive when McDuffie was called for unnecessary roughness for a hit to the head and neck area of tight endDonald Trump brings VIPs to Super Bowl 2025: Here’s who they areThank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
