Dang Right, And Don't You Forget It!

So much for the ballyhooed Chiefs 3-peat. With the referees calling a (largely) square contest, KC was trampled by the Eagles, with most of the Chiefs' points coming in garbage time. 

To those who claim this is proof the referees didn't help KC win this year, I say, uh, what now? It proves nothing, but it certainly lends credence to the claims that they were helped by the zebras each week. 

I don't think the NFL is scripted, or that the refs are on the take. I do, however, think that any play that would be 50-50 to warrant a flag for anyone else will earn KC a first down, and that any call that is questionable would fall in the Chiefs favor. 

They are (were?) the face of the league, and as such, were pampered. 

Regardless, they were pummeled when it counts, marking two such lopsided losses in Mahome's brief but fantastic tenure. 

Will they be back to the Super Bowl again before he retires? I think that's a bet I'd take,
