Kansas City was better when it mattered. It’s that simple.
The ending to Super Bowl LVII was a bummer. We all wish the final moments of the game lived up to the epic duel Chiefs vs. Eagles was — but conversation about the game-ending holding penalty on James Bradberry has completely jumped the shark.
