Leah Covey, the wife of Philadelphia Eagles return man Britain Covey, didn’t hold back after watching her husband’s team lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Super Bowl LVII.
In the moment, it was a controversial holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry – he later admitted he did commit the penalty on Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster – that allowed Kansas City to kill clock and set up their game-winning field goal to win it 38-35.
And well, Covey, like many Eagles fans, weren’t too happy with the result. In fact, when Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts slipped on his Hail Mary at the end of the game to cap the Chiefs’ victory, she couldn’t believe they were celebrating.

"I truly have never cringed harder. Still so proud of our eagles," she added.

EAGLES OWNER JEFFREY LURIE TAKES SUBTLE SHOT AT SUPER BOWL LVII REFEREES AFTER LOSS
Eagles fans are still writhing over the call, with owner Jeffrey Lurie even taking a subtle jab at referees, saying he believed his team should’ve had a chance to win the game. If Bradberry’s hold isn’t called, the Chiefs likely elect for a field goal and the Eagles would have had the chance to at least tie it with their own, or won on a touchdown.
