Several Jets fans blasted the NFL referees for the tough call which may have changed the course of the game. One X user wrote, “We shouldn’t even just be talking about the Sauce Gardner holding call. There were probably five bad calls on that drive. I’m incredulous at the blatancy. Coddling a star-studded team taken to the extreme.”

“Why did the refs throw the flag so late on the holding by Sauce Gardner?😭 They remembered that Taylor Swift was at the game and had to let the chiefs win.” another user tweeted.

Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner made his mark at Cincinnati and was named a unanimous All-American in 2021. Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner is a cornerback for the New York Jets in the NFL. The Jets selected Gardner fourth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, and he is known for his physicality, coverage prowess, and knack for forcing turnovers. In addition to his abilities on the field, he serves as an example both on and off the field.

Gardner was given the Senior CLASS Award in 2021, which honors distinction in competition, character, academics, and community service. He earned first-team All-Pro honors and was named the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, feats not done by a rookie cornerback since Ronnie Lott in 1981. His first NFL season was nothing short of remarkable.
