If that wasn't called, the Chiefs would have more right to be pissed than the Eagles were. It would have allowed the Eagles to get a stop by holding a WR on a 3rd down. And they'd get the ball back with additional time. They shouldn't be rewarded there. The DB should have just let Juju go. Better to give up a TD there than to grab the jersey and effectively end the game with a penalty.

All they want to see is a reason why they didnt win ...that call is easier to blame. It likely would have been a TD if the DB didnt mug him...but since it wasnt allowed to play out because he had a fist full of his jersey, we'll never know.
Eagle fans are essentially saying..."we should be allowed to hold on a pivotal play" and if you call it...it's rigged. The hypocrisy is it was the correct call...not calling it is actually more justification for claiming the ending was rigged.
