NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell shared a questionable embrace with Chris Jones following the Kansas City Chiefs’ win at Super Bowl 57 on Sunday.
The controversial holding call and the slippery playing surface provided more than enough ammunition for persons claiming the game was rigged or that the league is scripted, but Goodell’s interaction with Jones fanned the flames as he appeared to be overwhelmingly happy with the Kansas City victory.
The two men had a brief conversation on the night, which could be heard in the video below.
“Congratulations, that was awesome,” Goodell told Jones.

“I don’t care how you hit the quarterback,” Goodell is also heard saying.
The reaction from fans came as expected.
