I didn't pay much attention to the game and didn't really care about it but my youngest is a big football fan. But to say the holding call didn't play a part is certainly not the case. It eliminated any chance the Eagles had of getting the ball back. It was 3rd down, the Chiefs would have had to kick their field goal and the Eagles get the ball back with a couple minutes left to get in field goal range to tie it. Instead, the Chiefs get a new set of downs and are able to kill the rest of the clock. There are holding calls that can be made on every single play, for that particular "hold" to be called at that specific time is going to raise flags for a lot of people. Pair it with the baffling situation where they allowed Reid to throw a challenge flag after TWO snaps of the ball, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of fans.
