Eagles fans claimed the SuperBowl was rigged after a late holding penalty put the Chiefs in scoring position.
Why did fans call Super Bowl #rigged?
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had the ball 15 yards from the end zone with 1:54 on the clock and Super Bowl 57 tied at 35. On 3rd-and-8, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback took the shotgun snap and looked left. Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat won his pass rush and was breathing down Mahomes' neck.
The Super Bowl MVP had to get rid of the ball and tossed a prayer to the end zone. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could not run under it. The Eagles, regardless of whether the Chiefs took the lead on a field goal, would get another chance to tie the game — or perhaps put together a game-winning drive. The call was holding on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, who was guarding Smith-Schuster on that play.
The flag resulted in an automatic first down for the Chiefs, meaning they could run the clock. It was the first defensive holding call of the game for both teams.Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon picked up a first down and slid down at the 1-yard line. Mahomes knelt twice before kicker Harrison Butker came out to finish the job — and drive a stake through the collective heart of Philadelphia.
