The official in the Super Bowl Lix has been a hot-button topic for weeks and days that led to the big game in New Orleans.
Earlier this week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell rejected claims that official crews are partial in favor of Kansas City Chiefs. He described the allegations as “ridiculous.” It only took a few minutes to cross the game trip on Sunday before the judges took the limelight again.
Philadelphia Eagle’s head coach Nick Sirianni chose to go after it at the fourth down in the first quarter. The Eagles Quarterback Jalen hurts found a broad recipient AJ Brown far down the right sideline.

Replays seemed to show some contact between Brown and Chief’s defensive back Trent McDuffie, which fell to the ground during the game. The referee’s call triggered a certain controversy, with some argumentative Brown’s actions did not escalate to the level of the Pasiner R ex.

Seven-time Super Bowl winner and Fox Sports Lead analyst Tom Brady were among those who questioned the call.
“He’s a big, physical, strong receiver. Just getting off the press on McDuffie. Aw, doesn’t like that one. This is too critical of a game. Hand fighting is going down the field. What do you think, Mike? “Brady asked Fox Sports Rules expert Mike Pereira, who is also a member of the Broadcast team.

“Certainly I agree when you look at, there is hand fighting. There’s a little bit of push at the end and a trip. I think it’s one that didn’t need to be called,” Pereira explained.
Brady followed Pereira’s comments by claiming that type of call should not happen in a game of this size.
“I always thought in these games that you let the players play. It had to be decided on the field. Don’t like that call to start the game,” concluded Brady.
The Eagles entered the dressing room of Caesar’s Superdome with a 24-0 break lead. Hurts rushed after a touchdown and threw another in the first half. Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes ended the first two quarters with only 33 passing yards. He threw two interceptions, one of which Eagles Defensive Back Cooper Dejean ran back for a touchdown.
