The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions once again as Patrick Mahomes battled through an ankle injury to lead his team back from a 10-point halftime deficit to win 38-35 over the Philadelphia Eagles. Mahomes became the fourth quarterback in NFL history to win two MVPs and two Super Bowls.

The others are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Joe Montana.

'Mahomes is the MVP, that's all that needs to be said'

The NFL world gave their respect to Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs as they returned to the mountain top, and Kansas City celebrated for the second time in just over three years.

But several players and commentators also had plenty to say about a controversial holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry that allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock at the end of the game.

Here's what had social media buzzing about Super Bowl LVII.

James Bradberry took responsibility for his pivotal holding penalty on JuJu Smith-Schuster, but several of his NFL peers were less convinced that it should have been called. Even LeBron James, who was at the game, chimed in.
