GLENDALE, Arizona, February 13, 2023 ~ A back and forth tight game in the Arizona desert came down to a 35-35 tie Sunday, when a controversial third down holding call shifted fate in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs

Just when it looked like the Chiefs would have to settle for a field goal before turning the ball over to Philadelphia for the final 90-seconds, a yellow flag flew against Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, giving Kansas City a fresh set of downs and an easy opportunity to run out the clock.

February 13, 2023 ~ 760 WJR Sports Analyst Steve Courtney talks with Paul W. about the Big Game, and he says the referees played a role in the outcome.

(CONTINUED) With just 11-seconds remaining, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker put the go-ahead goal through the uprights, essentially clinching Super Bowl LVII for Kansas City.

This was the second Super Bowl title in four years for Kansas City, with NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes pushing through a high ankle sprain to earn his second Super Bowl MVP award.  

Mahomes, who many feel might ascend as the next GOAT of the sport, became the youngest quarterback to start in three Super Bowls and only the third player to win two NFL MVP awards before age 28.
