Regarding the idea of the officials "rigging" games for the Chiefs, the following things *are* true.
1) More penalties are generally called on road teams. I believe this is true in all sports.
2) Sometimes, superstars get the benefit of the doubt. Again, in all sports.
Neither is Chiefs-specific.

It's a small but definitely real difference.
Like, this data minus "sideline interference" or "unsportsmanlike conduct" on coaches, etc.
Just protecting their interests...
Keep trying to tell everyone he doesn’t get a crazy whistle, real football fans know.
The Chiefs are making the NFL much richer and the controversy helps. Before the Chiefs there was the Patriots and before them the Steelers. Just like pro wrestling, good guy vs bad guys.
Every NFL team makes the NFL richer.
Please, pinpoint that.
Because what was called stupid was what you SAID...and indicating that someTHING is stupid isn't name calling.
Bro...stop trying to be a victim.
the chiefs are so good that if they get shut down, there must have been a penalty
and there's no way they would ever commit a penalty bc they're too good and don't need to cheat
There are, however, refs who do seem to show bias.
Chiefs cheating scandal 2025!!!!😝😝😝
Refs love them flags when they play no matter where they play.
and they aren't shy about it.

2. You must think KC only ever plays at home. Smfh.
Compare their career stats. Mahomes has similar yards, but way more TDs, in far fewer games.
Aikman 165 games, 165 TD

Mahomes 112 games, 245 TD

“.Mahomes Rules”; the new
“Jordan Rules”
what about the change after the false start by LV in their last play of the game which would stoped the play?
With the repeated short fields and the intentional safety, the stat is pretty misleading.
look at yesterday. Hurts hit out of bounds and on a slide. Neither was a penalty imo but mahomes gets those calls.
Their crossing routes are often picks that get called by others.
And here is evidence.

- Guy super pleased with the smell of his own farts
Like I said, great team, probably the best team. But they get calls it's that simple.
You're arguing in bad faith because no amount of evidence will be enough for you.
Both should have been KC losses...
That was a textbook DPI, here is a photo of the contact, and note where the ball is.
Grow up and stop whining about refs. Questionable calls happen in every game and guess what, they have data on it……it’s not special for KC.
Stop. Everyone knows what is happening. Don't pretend
And the NBA looks like an OKC / Cleveland matchup in the Finals, which would suck for viewership. No matter how the refs fawn over LeFlop, the Lakers still suck.
That help?
PFS by WB by throws and scrambles?
pull similar plays to his late slide in the other games and see how many were called? And throughout the year?
Short version, per Anderson: Under the rules, officials got both calls right.
Furthermore, for those tow “right” calls, similar plays in other games this weekend not called.
I'd be more willing to have a discussion about the perception of the losers if the winners were actually honest about what led to their success.
It goes both ways.
Both ways
But I can't, for the life of me, come up with anything coherent.
And you just sent that thing and walked away. Its kinda amazing.
Knocked it out of the park
Everyone ignores those
4) the only other "sports entertainment" franchises are roller derby and pro wrestling.
5) as such, they are free to match fix all they like.
7) Between Mahomes' at the time enormous contract which made him the face of the league and now Travis Kelce bringing Taylor Swift to games and thus a new audience of Swifties, they know what that means to their bottom line.
Mahomes maybe, possibly was touched in the helmet area (twice) - 15 yards each time 🤔
Fuck the Chiefs, and fuck this dude for downplaying how significantly the refs rig games in their favor.
You cannot touch Patrick Mahomes.
Did you see the replays?
You can do better
It’s hard to argue “timing” much further than that without serious risk of confirmation bias.
(Nothing against 15 here. He is a thoroughly amazing player and the ‘rigged’ refs are not his fault.)

2nd overall in auto-first downs 2nd on 3rd down(tied)
1st in 3rd and long, tied (over 6yds)
1st in desperation, tied (over 9yds)
3rd and desperation are the eye test we all see. Especially the PFs.
💁♂️
It's blatant if you won't admit to that you are simply a delusional fan.

They underthrow the ball on purpose and the receiver slows down and intentionally get tangled up with the defender.
Was it against GB last year when MVS got tricked before the ball got there? No discussion on those calls though
A loser sees a bad call and decides it has determined the game, a winner just goes out and succeeds enough to overcome the bad call.
