by Toney makes big plays for KC; Bradberry called for a questionable penalty in the final minutes
Former New York Giants Kadarius Toney and James Bradberry were key figures on Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 on Sunday night in the 2023 Super Bowl.
A Bradberry holding a penalty on a third and eighth pass destined for Juju Smith-Schuster with 1:54 time left gave the Chiefs a first and a hit and allowed them to close the clock down to the final seconds shorten before Harrison Butker won the Super Bowl. winning 27-yard field goal: 08 left.

Toney caught that 3-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to level the score at 12:08 in the game. The extra point gave the Chiefs a 28-27 lead.

Toney’s punt return broke the previous record set by the Denver Broncos’ Jordan Norwood, who broke a 61-yard punt return for the Broncos in Super Bowl 50 against the Carolina Panthers.
The Eagles leveled the score after Toney Punt’s return helped Kansas City to an eight-point lead. Some magic from Mahomes and Bradberry’s early penalty helped the Chiefs become champions.
