If they don't call that, the Chiefs just kick a field goal from farther away, right? they still probably win

Very soft penalty though

It was a question of time. 2 minutes with three timeouts is an eternity for an NFL team to score. Instead, the Chiefs left them with 10 seconds.

It gives the ball back to the Eagles with ~1:30 on the clock and a timeout which is plenty of time to get into field goal range

It would’ve at least set up a great ending to what was, to that point, a great game but instead the penalty allowed the chiefs to take two knees and run the clock down
