Eagles' James Bradberry owns up to pulling the jersey in the Super Bowl. To the ref, it was a clear penalty.

PHOENIX — Having hope isn't the same as having a plan.

The Eagles defense had a chance to get off of the field late in the fourth quarter and get the ball back in quarterback Jalen Hurts' hands with Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs tied, 35-35, on third-and-8 from the Eagles' 16-yard line. But cornerback James Bradberry tugged on Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster's jersey in man coverage, and the officials nabbed him with a holding penalty, giving the Chiefs a fresh set of downs.

Bradberry said he knew he was guilty of the infraction. He didn't begrudge the referee for calling it, but he had hoped the flag would stay in his pocket.
