The Chiefs captured their second Super Bowl championship in the last four seasons with a thrilling 38–35 victory in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday night, but it was not without late game controversy.
Kansas City wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster drew a holding penalty from Philadelphia cornerback James Bradberry on an incomplete pass late in the fourth quarter. The call was viewed by many as a bit ticky-tack, and drew criticism from NFL fans towards the officials following the critical penalty.
When asked about the penalty after the game, Smith-Schuster had no doubt in his mind that the referees made the correct call.
