Fans entertaining the idea that the NFL is rigged due to striking resemblance between last two Super Bowls, raising suspicions of foul play.
Fans are alleging that the NFL is "rigged" due to the uncanny resemblance in the concluding moments of the last two Super Bowls. On Friday, Dov Kleiman shared a video comparing the belated defensive holding penalties that were awarded in both games, resulting in the game-winning scores. In Super Bowl 56, Logan Wilson of the Cincinnati Bengals was curiously flagged for holding Cooper Kupp on a third-and-goal play. The Los Angeles Rams received a fresh set of downs, and Matthew Stafford ultimately threw the game-winning touchdown to Kupp.
Similarly, in this year's Super Bowl, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry was flagged for defensive holding on JuJu Smith-Schuster. This provided the Kansas City Chiefs with a new set of downs, and they ran down most of the clock before Harrison Butker kicked the game-winning field goal. Kleiman questioned fans about which call they believed was more egregious, resulting in many fans suggesting that the league is "rigged."
