Even with the questionable calls the Texans had chances to score or stop Kansas City from scoring.Missing a extra point and a field goal didn't help their cause.Kansas City offense isn't as potent this season but the defense is very strong.
Wow, the game's in the bag for the Chiefs

Conspiracy theorists need to provide a motive for the NFL to favor the Chiefs - and don't say the three peat because the theories have been here before this season. If the NFL is going to try to control the narrative why are their largest market teams like the Jets, Giants, Bears, Cowboys not benefitting?
Not saying I agree, but the argument could be made that keeping Taylor Swift involved in the playoffs brings more eyeballs that wouldn’t normally be there than anything else.
They don’t, but she’s added viewers that wouldn’t normally watch. My local dick’s (in California) had a Taylor/travis mannequin display at one point. Thus, the conspiracy theory.
441.17 million Swifities worldwide all watching to get a glimpse of their Goddess that normally wouldn't watch. I'd say that's a pretty good motivation. Those eyeballs are worth millions upon millions to the NFL and yes, the owners want to squeeze every dime they can out of the world.
I find that sports conspiracy theories are just convenient crutches for fans who simply hate certain teams.
Or a signed Caitlin Clark basketball.
I was rooting for KC but admit the ref's hurt Houston more than once.
I begrudgingly agree, but some of the calls they got were just eyerolling. Mahomes and the Chiefs/Swift are media darlings, refs are not immune to society's bias. They see it every day just like you or me. So maybe not an NFL thing, but give the pretty boy the benefit of the doubt, is IMO definitely prevalent.
You know what’s even more brutal and a sad reflection on society ? That someone thinks the word is ‘ruffing’. That’s only correct in a different context (different sport).
I wanted the Chiefs to win but my goodness, it looked like the refs were calling it the way they used to when Michael Jordan was playing.
Good point. So that’s a second connotation. The football penalty post, though, is embarrassing.
I like him, doesn't mean I have to root for the Chiefs to win (there are other Knights in the NFL, although I think they are all out of the playoffs now), or that I can't watch a game and think the Chiefs get a favorable whistle.
I randomly watched the bills 30 for 30 about the Super Bowl losses a few weeks ago. Hard to not root for them
I don't think many are jealous of Mahpmes. And nobody is against Pacheco. KC has gotten some sweet officials calls. And the media has made them and Taylor Swift the darlings of this season. But that doesn't mean they are against specific individuals.
I’m not jealous of or against the Chiefs.
Would like to see Josh Allen there too someday.
Agree with @mdk01 here too…
Yeah...they're shooting for their third straight Super Bowl win.
It must be the refs.

I was just agreeing with the bolded part of his post. Which is why I did that.
Is this better...
We've heard this crap for years about the Cowboys. The conspiracy clowns (especially Eagles fans) never look for the real facts. In the last 4 seasons they have been 1st, 8th, 3rd and 3rd in penalties. But forget facts...
People just need excuses. Especially when they lose the bet lol!

And you have folks in this thread claiming that the Eagles get every call too, even though it was pretty even last Sunday and they had plays overturned and called back (rightfully so). My brother-in-law was driving me nuts on Thanksgiving night complaining about Green Bay getting every call at home vs. the Dolphins. The truth is that the Dolphins were making boneheaded plays because they were freezing their balls off.
I find that when I'm at the RAC, as a fan, I let the emotion get the better of me and bitch about refs (improving a little there) but when I look at the replay, I realize they had the call right or at worst, it was borderline.
Well the Eagles are penalized less. They are 10th from the bottom in penalties this year. However if you listen to their fans, which I am forced to, you would think they are leading the league in penalties called. 🙄
Not this Eagles fan. But I understand your pain living in enemy territory. Think those Cinderella Giant runs in 2007 and 2011 were a picnic up this way? 😁
