James Bradberry might have thought his holding penalty was behind him. He thought wrong
As thrilling as Super Bowl LVII was, it was not without controversy. The playing surface has received a lot of attention in the days following the game, as has a holding penalty on Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry called in the closing minutes. That penalty gave the Kansas City Chiefs a fresh set of downs deep in Eagles’ territory with under two minutes remaining, setting the stage for the game-winning field goal and the modest upset.
Following Super Bowl LVII, Bradberry admitted to holding Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. “It was a holding,” the cornerback admitted after the Eagles’ 38-35 loss. “I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide.”
Now Smith-Schuster is having a little fun on Valentine’s Day, at Bradberry’s expense:
Incredible.
Our only regret here at SB Nation is that this custom Valentine was not released earlier in the day. We could have included Smith-Schuster and Bradberry among our incredibly comprehensive list of sports couples.
