An entertaining Super Bowl was essentially over when the Eagles’ James Bradberry was flagged for a soft defensive holding call in the game’s final minutes. It allowed the MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to run down the clock to set up a Harrison Butker field goal to win it. It felt like an anti-climactic way for a fantastic game to end.
LeBron James — who had his own moments with officials in recent weeks — and other NBA players agreed, that’s not how you decide a Super Bowl.
Sorry but I don’t like that call! Not for the Super Bowl man! 🤦🏾♂️

His hand on his back had no effect on his route! This game was too damn good for that call to dictate the outcome at the end. Damn! By the way I have no horse in the race. Just my professional opinion
