Well, a new video from NFL Films shows a great angle of Bradberry's hold on JuJu and it was legit. Wonder what the "tHe nFl iS rIgGeD" crowd on here will pivot to next now that the legitimacy of the call has been vindicated.

Bradberry grabbed Juju twice. Once in the back clearly restricted and turned him, the second one in the front wasn't as bad but the damage had been done.

Hold as clear as day.

From that angle, people would have been melting if they didn’t call it

“They didn’t call a huge jersey rip to keep the game alive!!!!!”

That’s what never made sense about all this. Why would the nfl rig the last call to make a less dramatic finish?

That's why it's gonna be interesting to see what that crowd on here and elsewhere pivot to now.

That HAD to be called. It had a clear impact on the play.

Yeah, it did.

Holding gave Bradberry a clear advantage over JuJu b/c w/o the hold, he probably walks into the EZ

A penalty should always be called when advantage/disadvantage is compromised, and it was there.

That angle is from the view the BJ had, and he's the one who made the call b/c Juju was his key at the snap.

It didn’t though. That was barely a hold and the new angle you found that you think proves your point doesn’t. Holds like that happen on literally every play.

Yeah it did. Watch it again. JuJu was literally on the turf from Bradberry holding him. And Bradberry is still holding him when he gets up.

See my explanation above.

To a point, but that one was egregious.

What the heck are you watching? He wasn’t on the ground, he was coming out of a break.

You still have people disagreeing with the personal foul at the end of the Chiefs/ Bengals game. This won't change the minds of stubborn, unrealistic people.

Unfortunately, you're right.

And being held while in his break, initially causing him to go to the ground.

there’s two sides to officiating, technical rules and consistency.

players play how they have been officiated. there wasn’t a single call on a DB all game for either team, so clearly refs were letting light contact go all game. from a fan perspective, it was a bad time to decide to call a minor infraction

doesn’t help it came on the heels of the horrible holding call at the end of last SB as well

I think you’re just seeing what you want to see. He doesn’t go to the ground. Yes it was technically a hold but it was barely a hold and this was a ticky tack call. Honestly your video proves that more.

Even Bradberry admitted he held him and was hoping it wasn't gonna be called. Meaning he knew it was egregious. He had JuJu on the ground.

that was a very light and quick jersey tug. if it wasn’t called, no one would have even looked for it on a replay.

you think there wasn’t a single one of those for either team up to that point?
