One of the big storylines entering Super Bowl 59 was NFL officiating, and it didn't take long for the referees to make a controversial call.
The Eagles got the ball first and were driving down the field, but the Chiefs appeared to catch a break with an assist from the referees. Instead of Philadelphia getting into field-goal range, the Eagles punted on the opening drive.
Here's a breakdown of what happened on the Eagles' first drive.

Eagles offensive pass interference, explained
On fourth-and-2 from around midfield, Jalen Hurts found A.J. Brown down the field for a huge gain. But Brown was called for offensive pass interference on the play, which pushed Philadelphia back 10 yards and forced the Eagles to punt.
Fox's replay showed Brown extended his arm but didn't make much contact with cornerback Trent McDuffie before catching the ball.
Many people disagreed with the call. Tom Brady criticized the penalty call on the broadcast, saying that he would prefer the players decide the game instead of the refs. Fox's rules analyst Mike Pereira also said he though there should've been a no-call.
Social media was even more angry at the call, especially considering all the coverage about the Chiefs and the referees entering the game.
