Super Bowl LVII ended on Sunday night with the Kansas City Chiefs lifting the Lombardi trophy at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona. However, one controversial call against a particular Philadelphia Eagles player left fans fuming in the last quarter of the game. As a result, thousands of Eagles fans expressed their displeasure with the league’s decision in a rather bold way. Amid the chaotic affair, several players from a particular NBA team updated fans on the ongoing situation in Philly.

After losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2021 AFC Conference Championship game, the Chiefs returned with an iron-willed determination to win this season. Their efforts bore fruit when their superstar QB Patrick Mahomes led the team to victory for the second time in his NFL career.

Eagles fans baffle NBA stars

The Super Bowl took a controversial turn when the refs made a questionable call on Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, both teams were tied at 35 when the officials called a holding foul on Bradberry. This gave the Chiefs the much-needed first down to take the lead in the game. Fans were not too happy about the call and this led to thousands of Philly citizens marching down the street beating drums and chanting in protest.
