Eagles CB on crucial penalty: ‘It was a hold’

Feb 12, 2023

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry took responsibility for a questionable holding call late in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday that helped swing the game in the Kansas City Chiefs‘ favor.

“I was hoping he would let it go, but of course he’s a ref, it was a big game,” Bradberry said after the Eagles’ 38-35 loss. “It was a hold, so they called it.”

The Chiefs were facing a third-and-8 from Philadelphia’s 15-yard line with just under two minutes to play and the game tied 35-35. Bradberry appeared to put his hand on receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster at the top of his route and was whistled for defensive holding.

“The receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside,” referee Carl Cheffers told a pool reporter. “The defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside. So, therefore, we called defensive holding.”

Partial Pool Report on Def. Holding Call

Question: Take me through that holding call on the final drive against the Eagles. What did you see there?
Cheffers: “The receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside. The defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside. So, therefore, we called defensive holding.”
Question: What specifically about that play was the part that merited the flag, just to be perfectly clear?
Cheffers: “The grabbing of the jersey that restricted his free release to the outside.”
Question: Was that a pretty clear case of it from your vantage point?
Cheffers: “It was a clear case of a jersey grab that caused restriction.”
Question: The restriction, did it happen at the top of the route or was it after the receiver had turned?
Cheffers: “He went to the inside, he put a foot down to try and break to the outside. So, it was right at the break to the outside where the defender grabbed his jersey and prevented his free release to the outside.”
— Pool reporter Lindsay Jones with referee Carl Cheffers

Cheffers called it “a clear case of a jersey grab that caused restriction” and said “there was no debate” among the officiating crew about the call.

The pass to Smith-Schuster was incomplete, but with a fresh set of downs thanks to the penalty, Kansas City was able to wind the clock down before kicking the go-ahead field goal with eight seconds remaining.

“Oh yes, 100 percent,” Smith-Schuster said when asked whether he felt like he was held. “My route was strike in, strike back out. I mean, Bradberry’s a good player, but I feel like, someday, a call is going to be called.”

Jalen Hurts‘ Hail Mary with time expiring fell incomplete, ending a thriller of a game that left Eagles players heartsick. Bradberry stood at his locker afterward for about 20 minutes, answering every question about one of the most consequential plays of the game.

“He’s an awesome teammate, he’s a great player, and I think that’s how you want your teammates and your guys to react,” center Jason Kelce said. “We all had our mistakes today. I had mine. It was just unfortunately a few too many.”
