Well Bradbury said after the game that he had a hold of his jersey and hoped they’d let it go. I mean, that’s pretty cut and dried. I do think the refs had a bad game, but if you watch the NFL you get a lot of “ref-ball”. It’s brutal.
Yeah, I’m going to agree, and also with the TSN panel after the game.
There were other reasons the Eagles lost. Special teams were bad all year and they were bad in this game. Gannon continues to look lost against decent QBs.
The bad call ruined a good game, but it's not why they lost.

Do all the people calling it a brutal call think the call was the left hand on the back?
If that was the call, sure, it would be questionable at best.
The call was the right hand which got a pretty good grab of jersey (happens just before the start of most clips that are out there). When you see it, it’s pretty obvious.
Mahomes now 14-10 in his career when trailing by 10, 4-2 in the playoffs, and won both of his Super Bowls when that has happened. He was basically perfect in the second half, 13/14, and the incompletion was on that stupid gimmick play they ran. His ability to elevate when behind is what makes him so scary to play against.

Anyone care to tell me why the flag wasn't thrown until the ball sailed past in the end zone?
That flag should have been on ground well before the end of the play, no?

If you watch the main view of the play it looks like the back judge reaches back to his pocket before the ball is thrown. I can’t find a replay showing which official through the flag though but if it’s the back one he was in motion doing it as he saw it.

You can see the flag fly across the screen, a couple seconds after the ball hits the ground.
If he was reaching when he saw it, he held onto it for about 5 seconds or more
Man, the whining from that Fox commentator and the CP Eagles fans.
It was a clear and self-admitted penalty. Period, full stop, end of sentence.
And the officials robbed the Chiefs of an obvious fumble return TD that would have made the finishing controversy irrelevant anyway. Period, full stop, end of sentence.
Good game, Eagles D choked, and Mahomes is a warrior.
Also this tweet was in regards to the 49ers game...but you know Andy Reid would have known about it and would be why pre-snap motion would have been leveraged so heavily all night.
