Former NFL HC: Refs 'F— Up a Great' Super Bowl with Holding Call on Eagles' Bradberry

Fans were not the only ones upset about the late-game defensive holding call that helped the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's Super Bowl at State Farm Stadium.

"Way to f--k up a great game," a former head coach said, per Mike Sando of The Athletic.

Eagles cornerback James Bradberry was called for defensive holding against JuJu Smith-Schuster on a key third-down play with just under two minutes remaining in a tie game. The penalty gave the Chiefs a first down and set up the game-winning field goal in the closing seconds.
