GLENDALE, Ariz. — By the time the flag hit the ground late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LVII, the butcher knives and pitch forks were already flying across social media.

The ball went far over his head, with a smattering of Philadelphia players celebrating what appeared to be a pivotal stop.
