The Eagles dominated the Chiefs early but folded on defense late in a 38-35 loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII.
A game for the ages had several big plays, but the outcome will be marred by a late 3rd down holding penalty on Philadelphia All-Pro cornerback James Bradberry with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter.
Instead of kicking a field goal and giving the Eagles a decent amount of time for a final drive, the Chiefs ran the clock down and broke a 35-35 tie with a Harrison Butker 27-yard field goal.
Social media reacts to everything and the potential blown call was the subject of discussion.

Was it the right decision to call this or was this too big of a moment?
