Yep.Sad what the nfl has become.

The Kansas City Chiefs clinched a spot in their third consecutive Super Bowl on Sunday night with a win over the Buffalo Bills, but they were aided by a controversial call in the fourth quarter.

During the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s AFC Championship Game showdown, the Kansas City Chiefs scored a go-ahead touchdown over the Buffalo Bills to take a 29-21 lead.

The Chiefs began the drive with great field position after stopping the Bills on a pivotal fourth-down conversion attempt, but one prominent rules expert does not think that the Chiefs actually got the stop.

On the play, Bills quarterback Josh Allen tried to get the first down with a quarterback sneak. The two referees on the field had two different spots after the play. One would have given the Bills the first down, but the other had them just short.

The call on the field ruled the Bills short of the first down, and a replay review upheld that call. But CBS Sports rules analyst Gene Steretore felt like the Bills should have been given the first down.

“I felt like he gained it by about a third of a football,” Steretore said during the broadcast. “That was just my take on the play. Tough, tough play.”

Instead, the Chiefs were given the ball at midfield and they quickly scored a touchdown, taking the lead and setting them up for the eventual victory.

Just plain sad its so obvious.

Will be waiting a couple weeks to see the championship game. If KC doesn't find a way to contain Barkley that will give the Eagles a lot of viable options on offense. KC did not handle the blitz well and if they can contain Mahomes that can slow down the passing game. With a healthy Hurts the NFC looks to be stronger in my opinion.

You forgot to factor in the refs and Swifty. lol

Really nothing funny about the whole situation with the NFL allowing kc to keep winning games unfairly the way its going on.Very unfair to the other teams that have to try and win despite all this.I'm starting to think the other teams need to start pulling their teams off the field untill all this stops in protest.

Untill that happens the nfl is no better then pro wrestling

Steelers All-Pro Cam Heyward Calls Patrick Mahomes a ‘Great Flopper’

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward said on his Not Just Football that officials favor Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on calls simply because he’s the face of the NFL.

That was evident in last week’s Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans when Mahomes flopped along the sidelines, trying to draw his third personal foul call of the game. Mahomes’ act did not draw a flag, however. It did infuriated Texans players and NFL fans, though.

“Yeah, Mahomes is going to get calls,” Heyward said. “He’s been an MVP in our game and he sells tickets. As a defense, you know you’re under a microscope when you play him. The second they think it’s questionable, it’s probably getting thrown. And he sells with the best of them. He’s the Bruce Bowen, he’s the Manu Ginobili where they’re flopping and flailing their arms out there.”


Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, who was on the call for the game with ESPN, blasted Patrick Mahomes during the broadcast.

“He’s trying to draw the penalty. Rather than just run out of bounds, he slows down. And that’s been the frustration and I get it. I understand it. That’s been the frustration for these defensive players around the league,” AIkman said.

Aikman also called out the officials for a weak roughing the passer penalty on Mahomes

“Oh, come on! I mean, he’s a runner. I could not disagree with that one more. He barely gets hit,” Aikman said.


Surprisingly, Mahomes actually admitted that he flopped on the play near the sidelines.

Strange,

Didn't hear a peep outta you when Brady/Patriots got caught cheating at least 3 times. Get over your envy.

Brady*********, lol.

Would you care to share how much money you have lost betting against the Chiefs since all this cheating started?
