Eagles CB James Bradberry and Head Coach Nick Sirianni take the high road when talking about the holding penalty

Both James Bradberry and Nick Sirianni should be pissed that they fell short of the Super Bowl, but both of them took the high road when asked about the holding penalty at the end of the Chiefs game.

James Bradberry was called for a very controversial holding penalty at the end of the game, and when he was asked about the call he owned up to it and admitted he did in fact hold Juju Smith-Schuster.

“It was a holding. I tugged his jersey,” Bradberry said. “I was hoping they would let it slide.”

Bradberry could have tried to hide, or blame someone but he didn’t. It was definitely a hold, but I do not think it should have been called with 2 minutes left in the game. It was pretty petty, but it happens.

After the game, media went to Nick Sirianni to ask him his opinion of the call, and he took the high road as well.

“It’s not my job to make calls. Those guys gotta do that in split-second scenarios. That’s what he saw, and he called it,” Sirianni said. “I know it always appears to be that it’s one call that makes the game. That’s not what it is. It’s not what it is. There are so many plays that contribute to the end result of the game. And today they were better than we were.”

For a fan base that tips cars and climbs light poles, the leadership of their team seems to be in the right direction. I hope the Eagles can rebound from this loss. You have to love when people step up and don’t point their finger.
