Social media was full of criticism about the defensive holding call, given that it was made at a time when the penalty could not have been called.

Despite negative Twitter reactions, the Eagles’ cornerback said that the refs made the right decision, despite the negative reactions.

“It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide,” He spoke after Super Bowl LVII.

Nick Sirianni, the head coach, stated that the loss could not be attributed to one call because there were so many variables during the game.

“It always appears to be one call. … That is not what it is. So many teams contribute to the result of the game. Today they were better,” He said.
