The Kansas City Chiefs win a high-class and history-making Super Bowl thriller and end up with a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The voices of the game:
Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs)…
.. on his second Super Bowl win: “We just had to win this – even for Coach Reid. He’s one of the best coaches ever and he needed that second Super Bowl ring to prove it. I think we’ll stay together for a little while and keep attacking. […] I love hearing the MVP chants, Chiefs kingdom is everywhere.
.. To Chiefs fans: “Hey, listen up: we won again. But we’re far from done. It’s a tough road to a dynasty. We’re going to keep fighting. We have some young players in this team. I’m already looking forward to next season. “
Andy Reid about to retire? “Will stay here for a while “
Head Coach Andy Reid (Kansas City Chiefs) …
.. on his past with the Eagles and possible clouded joy: “I love the people in Philadelphia. I had 14 great years there. I get along great with the owners, they’ve done a fantastic job – but listen, let’s go Chiefs.
.. On a possible retirement: “I think I’ll stay here for a bit. I look in the mirror and I am old. But my heart is young. I still enjoy what I do. I’ve been asked that 50 times here. At the end of the day, I just say: I’m happy with what I’m doing at the moment. Listen, if they want me, I’ll stay here. “
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts: “It motivates me “
Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles): “We lost. We came here to win, but got the short end of the stick. I know this loss will motivate me. I’ve been to this point before, that’s the beauty of it. […] You just want to celebrate and enjoy this moment with everyone you made it here with. Your family, your friends, your teammates – just everyone you’re doing it for. I’m so proud of the team. Of everything we overcame together. We had a common goal, but we didn’t achieve it. Everyone deals with such pain differently. But it’s up to you whether you take it as a teachable moment or not.
Head Coach Nick Sirianni (Philadelphia Eagles) on the fateful holding call against James Bradberry: “There are going to be decisions that are questioned, right? Not just by the referees, there’s going to be questionable things that I did or one of the coordinators did. Or even Jalen Hurts. We understand the excitement, but it’s never just about one play. I’m not here to debate whether it was the right call or not.
James Bradberry admits holding
James Bradberry (Philadelphia Eagles) on holding call against himself: “It was a holding call. I pulled on his jersey. I was hoping they would let it go through.”
JuJu Smith-Schuster (Kansas City Chiefs) on the holding call: “One hundred percent. My route was to go in and go out. Bradberry is a good player, but it was clear something like that was going to be penalized. “
Referee confirms correct call
Referee Carl Cheffers on the holding call: “The receiver went inside and then tried to pull away to the outside. However, the defender pulled on his jersey with his right hand and prevented him from doing just that. That’s why we whistled a defensive hold. “
Brandon Graham (Philadelphia Eagles) on the holding call: “I trust the referees on that. The refs have to make the decision in the shortest amount of time during the game. That call hurt a little bit, but we shouldn’t have put them in that position in the first place.
