Clearly not "a minor jersey grab" when video shows a jersey stretch about a foot long. The ball was thrown after the jersey grab and Mahomes saw the grab and expected the penalty call. I get it that Eagles fans think their team could score again if the penalty is not called. But it was.

I'm not an Eagles fan...in fact, I don't like any Philly team and root against them. I think (and many others have as well) thought it was a weak call. I'm happy the Chiefs won, but it was a weak ending to a great SB game.

The eagles player has admitted it was a hold so I think it's case closed.

That's not really the issue. I'm not disputing it was a hold because technically it was. My issue is the refs calling the hold on what looked to be pretty ticky-tack call with the game on the line (and it was a great game). That would be the time to swallow the whistle.
