Instead of hiding from the penalty, Bradberry owned up to his mistake after the game.
"We were in a man coverage," Bradberry said. "JuJu motioned down to a bunch. He ran a pivot and a wheel. I was just trying to get some momentum going and go back with the wheel, of course, I pulled on his jersey, so they called it."
"I was hoping they would let it ride, but it was a holding," Bradberry added. "They were consistent for the most part. I just can't be blatant with it."
Bradberry is scheduled to be a free agent in the offseason.
As for Smith-Schuster, he signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs on March 20 and caught 78 balls for 933 yards.
