Eagles all-pro center Jason Kelce also wouldn’t point a finger. “They called it, and that’s the way this goes,” he told reporters. “I’ve said this before: I’m never going to be somebody who puts blame or anything on officials. That’s a hard job. They make a call. It is what it is. There were multiple other moments in that game to take care of business, and I think that, you know, we were close.
Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni echoed Kelce: “I know it always appears to be one call,” he told reporters, “… but that’s not what it is.”that people “criticizing the refs for that holding penalty [and] saying ‘you can’t make that call at that point in the game’ lol. when are they supposed to call it — after the game? just [because] it was bad timing for an Eagles penalty doesn’t mean you shouldn’t call it. it was clearly* a penalty.
ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky, a former NFL quarterback, replied to Spears: “You are out your dang mind if you think that’s the right call my brother. And I love you like family.” ESPN analyst and former quarterback Robert Griffin III also disagreed, , “After looking at the play, that wasn’t pass interference. Or defensive holding. That call decided the game.”— CJ Uzomah
