Logan Wilson Comments on Controversial Super Bowl Pass Interference Following NFL Retirment

CINCINNATI — Logan Wilson is ready to let his thoughts loose in retirement. The former Bengals linebacker officially hung up his cleats earlier this week and went on to give his two cents on a past controversy today.

Wilson got dinged for a huge defensive holding penalty in the Bengals' 23-20 loss to the Rams during the final minutes of Super Bowl LVI to give L.A. the chance to score the deciding points lined up near Cincinnati's goal line.

Wilson is standing firm that he did commit pass interference back in 2022, which has been the prevailing sentiment from most neutral NFL fans. A tough call for the Bengals in a long line of them, but they ultimately squandered too many drives that game to make a call like that not matter.

"It still wasn’t holding in my humble opinion," Wilson said on X with a laughing emoji.

He drove home a nice retirement message after starring for the Bengals this whole decade, leading to a mid-season trade to Dallas last offseason.

Wilson ended his Bengals career with 541 tackles, 11 interceptions and 5.5 sacks. He started 65 times and appeared in 76 regular season games.

Check out the 2020 second-round pick's message and comment on the big play below:

"After a lot of thought and prayer, I’ve decided to officially retire from the NFL. From being a Wyoming kid with big dreams to hearing my name called in the 3rd round of the 2020 Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals… football gave me more than I ever could have imagined. Cincinnati will always mean a lot to me. The teammates, coaches, staff, and fans made those years unforgettable. That 2021 playoff run was something special — the interception in Tennessee to send us to the AFC Championship, beating Kansas City to win the AFC, and taking the field in the Super Bowl. Those moments and that locker room are something I’ll carry with me forever. And the best part of all, my daughter was born there 🧡 I’m also thankful for the opportunity to finish this season in Dallas and for the way that locker room welcomed me in. When I look back on my career, I just feel grateful.

"Not many Wyoming kids get the chance to live out their dream in the NFL, and I never took a single snap for granted. I also want to thank my friends and family for the support they’ve given me every step of the way. To my wife, my daughter, my mom, my dad, and my sister — none of this would have been possible without you. Now I’m excited for what’s ahead — more time with family, new fitness challenges, and the next chapter of life. Thank you to every teammate, coach, trainer, staff member, and fan who was part of the journey. And to Cincinnati… I’ll always appreciate the way you embraced me. Who Dey forever."

It still wasn’t holding in my humble opinion😂
