Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins complains about 'touchy calls' after Super Bowl LIX loss

The "FOX NFL Kickoff" crew reflected on Patrick Mahomes' legacy after the Kansas City Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had a few words about how Super Bowl LIX was called after the team’s 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Two penalties early in the game drew attention from social media. First, it was the offensive pass interference call on Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, then it was an unnecessary roughness call on Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie on Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert.

"It’s my first year being with the Chiefs and I saw a lot of things in the media about the refs, but what are you all going to say now about the refs and us?" Hopkins told reporters. "There was a lot of touchy calls. Are you going to report that? Are you going to talk about the refs now?"

Hopkins had two catches on five targets for 18 yards and a touchdown. He did have a massive drop in the game as he appeared to slip and fall as he was running his route. He then dropped a pass that could have gone for a ton of yards and possibly build momentum.
