He flat out grabbed him on the break. The hand on the waist was after he already grabbed his jersey. The DB admits he grabbed him.

Yes the right hand grabbed the jersey

And admittedly so by the back

And if he hadn’t have grabbed him, it would have been a TD.

Cry me a river. I’ve hated the Eagles since the Vermeil/Jaworski days and when their fans booed Dak after he received the Walter Payton Award before the game, you reap what you sow kids.

Exactly

The announcer says he puts his hand on his back, but he also grabbed the receivers right arm AND he admitted it. Case closed. What did the writer of the article want? A tie, equity?

No, the Eagles defense handed the Chiefs the super bowl ring...

And Hurts handed them a touchdown, so he helped.

Life is not perfect, sports is not perfect and humans and referees are not perfect.

Shit happens in life and you just move on......

With that being said, there is not one thing I like about Philadelphia. I've had to deal with employees from our now closed manufacturing plant there for years and to a person, they were the most negative, obnoxious people I have ever had to deal with in my life.

Congratulations Kansas City, if I was a betting person, I would have made lots of money since I picked them to win. (And that very seldom happens...LOL!)

And, never mind that the Chief's touchdown off of an Eagle's fumble was erroneously called back, as though the pass was not complete.

Totally a caught pass. He had that ball wrapped up and it only came out after the defender hit it.

I see it plain as day. Receiver almost loses his balance. It’s the right hand, not the left. Watch the receiver’s lower legs stagger.

Officials have been ruining football games for years.

Time for Jesus to return and start a career of officiating. Only athiests would question His calls......

Does anyone really think defender would say he held if he didn’t?

Correct. Holding took place well before the ball is catchable or not. He had his arm, jersey and later hand around the waste. Totally legit call. I would have rather not seen that call as it was a borderline flag. Watching replay I see why it was called. The receiver was slow to cut towards the end zone and the ref would have seen jersey pull and hand on waist.

As an agnostic viewer with lean towards the Chiefs in this game, I would have liked to see if Philly could have done anything with that last minute or not. Was a great game otherwise.

I’m not sure the receiver could have caught the ball if the defender was on the bench.

Doesn't matter. A holding penalty isn't affected by whether or not the ball is catchable.

"Very interesting...People watch a large collection of America-hating felons play a wokified game and then get upset over it..."


Pretty strange, especially after the NFL very recently released their new official logo...

Eagles scored 35 offensive points-—no turnovers or sacks from the defense. The offensive gave up 7 points. Defense gave up30

We are on the brink of a nuclear war with Russia and thank God we have football referee calls to keep us from being worried about the real danger.
