Super Bowl 2023: Late holding penalty lets Chiefs run out clock, prompts outrage from Eagles fans, LeBron James

With 1:54 remaining in Sunday's Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes lobbed a pass targeting JuJu Smith-Schuster in the end zone.

It fell incomplete on third down, appearing to set up a Chiefs field-goal attempt that would have given them a 38-35 lead and left time on the clock for the Eagles to respond. But a penalty changed the course of the game.

Officials flagged Eagles cornerback James Bradberry for holding Smith-Schuster before the pass fell incomplete. The call gave the Chiefs a first down, and they ran down the clock before Harrison Butker kicked a game-winning field goal with eight seconds remaining.
