The Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles ended in controversy, something Cincinnati Bengals fans and players might remember well enough based on what happened the year prior.
Late in the game, officials called a very questionable holding penalty on an Eagles defender which effectively ended the game, barring the Chiefs missing a chip-shot field goal after running down the clock.
Current Bengals and even former Bengals players such as C.J. Uzomah took to Twitter to talk about the call, which had shades of that questionable holding call on Logan Wilson from one year ago.
Here’s a look at reactions from them and other notables after the game went final.

Matter of fact just don’t play the playoffs moving forward, give SUPER BOWL to the team the NFL wants to win cuz that’s what it looks like

Chiefs were gifted 2 playoff games in a row! Entire officiating crew needs to be OVERHAULED, players put EVERYTHING into this & these guys just make bad call after bad call! Disappointing is an understatement
