Super Bowl LII featured a number of questionable game-changing moments. If it were up to NBC color guy Cris Collinsworth, most of the big calls would have gone in favor of the New England Patriots rather than the Philadelphia Eagles.
Defensive end Chris Long picked up on Collinsworth's lack of objectivity after watching a rerun of the game. Needless to say, he was not shy about voicing his displeasure on Twitter, starting with the touchdown from tight end Zach Ertz:
Ertz takes 17 steps and Collinsworth says he thinks they have to overturn it
Long added that Collinsworth mistakenly pegged him as the one responsible for the failed trick play to quarterback Tom Brady.
He also thought it’s my job to run with Tom Brady w QB wheel route on a reverse pass. Lmao.
Those were not the only instances in which Collinsworth was adamant about a ruling that should have gone in favor of the Patriots. There were several moments where the long-time broadcaster made a few questionable comments.
It is safe to say that Long is not a big fan of Collinsworth's eye for the game after hearing the latter's commentary. The veteran was among those on social media who were quick to point out the bias in some of his calls.
The Patriots found themselves on the winning side of some of the most controversial decisions in the 2017 NFL season. However, they were quickly put on the short end of the stick against the Eagles when it mattered the most.
