If eagles win from here it's all down to Hurts. His offensive line haven't offered enough protection and the eagles defense hasnt got anywhere near enough pressure on Mahones or got close enough to his receivers
Fumble aside, Hurts was unbelievably good tonight. He didn’t deserve to lose.
The holding call was a bit harsh at the end, but I felt the earlier fumble (and resulting TD) being called an incomplete pass was wrong too. So, you know. Swings and roundabouts.
Pleased for my Chiefs mad buddy in the states. He’ll be off his tits by now. 😎
I thought it was a holding call and I wonder if some people are having their judgement clouded because it was a disappointing way to end such a good game? Let's also not forget that from the field position KC would most likely still have got the FG.
That was a great watch. Holding call aside that was a great 5 minutes final drive at the end by the Chiefs. A game where whoever had the ball last was going to win, provided the clock was favourable.
Eagles are the better team all round for me, however, KC have the best player and I feel their experience of being here before also tips it in their favour. KC by 3.

Fair point, but the key was that it gave the Chiefs a first down and the ability to run the clock right down. Had it not been called the Eagles would have had a minute plus on the clock plus a Timeout giving Hurts a reasonable chance of at least tying the game. I fancied the Chiefs to win but it was an unsatisfactory end to a great game.

Agree, but you still have KC as heavy favourites from that position. I see Bradberry has come out and agreed with the decision, which is fantastic sportsmanship on his part but also hopefully puts to bed any silly whatif arguments. But yes agree that it wasn't the ending we all wanted after probably the best SB in a long time but that said I still think it is one of the best ever.
