We probably don’t need to revisit the debate over whether or not a flag should have been thrown on Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry late in the team’s Super Bowl 57 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
But in case you’re still thinking about it: Maybe this angle shown by NFL Films will convince you that Bradberry did indeed hold JuJu Smith-Schuster (even though the cornerback said he did!).
A shot from a different angle shows that Bradberry absolutely got a hold on the receiver’s jersey, so much so that some cloth got pulled. To me, that’s got to be called, even in the Super Bowl (sorry Eagles fans!).

This is basically the replay that was shown in the stadium. We were all surprised at the controversy after the game. https://t.co/j1G7OlKdBi

So there you have it.
