Really? You’re just going to ignore the ridiculous holding call that wrecked a great game?
Never mind, I see you got to it way after the fact.
This is what happens when the woke crowd picks the refs. Terrible call alters the Super Bowl. Jenkins had no business working this game.
Bradberry himself called it holding admitting he held the jersey.
