That interference call did not lose the game for the Eagles I admit but did cost them a chance to tie or win like I have said. To many mistakes by the Eagles plain and simple sunk the Eagles not to mention the defense did not show up in that game. The playing field was complete disaster, who maintained that quicksand field? Next time the NFL needs to hire someone from the PGA to maintain their fields. In the end it was a very entertaining game and Mahomes deserves a lot of credit for playing with that high ankle sprain. There are not many people who could play to the level he did with that kind of injury. Anyone saying I have had an ankle sprain before and gutted through it. A high ankle sprain is much worse then a lateral ligament sprain.
Anyone who has ever played a team sport knows what it is like to compete as a team. One of my favorite high school coaches required reading was from Roosevelt
Man in the Arena

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
