Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry responded to his pivotal Super Bowl LVII holding penalty with class and accountability. That didn't stop the player he was flagged for holding from going for the jugular two days later.
If, for some reason, you're not familiar with the ending of Super Bowl LVII, the context here is that Bradberry indeed held Smith-Schuster when it mattered most.
With 1:54 remaining in the game and the scored tied 35-35, the Chiefs found themselves in a situation where a first down would almost certainly give them a win. The Eagles only had one timeout left and the Chiefs were on 3rd-and-8 at their 15-yard line. One more first down would have allowed Kansas City to almost entirely run out the clock and kick a chip-shot field goal.
The Eagles seemingly got a reprieve when Patrick Mahomes' pass to Smith-Schuster fell incomplete on the ensuing play, but then the officials called Bradberry for holding Smith-Schuster, a penalty that gave the Chiefs an automatic first down. Replay showed said holding to be ... a bit light.
