Ok, one more time beating this dead horse.
So, here are some statistics about the issue of ref favoritism for the chiefs leading up to the Bills AFC Championship game (not taking into account this years AFC championship or the Superbowl)
It the Chiefs prior 11 Playoff appearances during Mahomes tenure they have not had the most penalties a single time. The other team has been called for more penalties in every single game.
In those 11 games, the Chiefs have been penalized 36 times. Their opponents....66.
IN those 11 games, the Chiefs have been called for Roughing the Passer 1 time. THeir opponents....7
In those 11 games the Chiefs have been called for Pass Interfernce or Defensive holding 3 times. Their opponents...11
Broken down by EPA, the Chiefs have received 18.4 points added per game based on those penalties.
8 of those 11 games were decided by one score.
This isn't just "well the Chiefs don't commmit as many penalties" either. Because anyone with eyes knows that's not the case. Just their Superbowl games alone, are rife with offensive holding plays that never get called. In fact, THIS superbowl was the first time the CHiefs have been flagged for an offensive holding penality in 5 Superbowl appearances. Even though you can see their line clearly mugging defenders in every single Superbowl, ESPECIALLY that last 49ers game.
The Chiefs had a very clear roughing the passer hit on CJ Stroud in the divisional game...no flag. Yet like half of the Chiefs big playoff wins have come at the expense of Mahomes drawing a roughing call in the waning minute to put the CHiefs in position to score. That Bengals game last year in particular.
It's amazing to watch the entire NFL world outside of the Chiefs bubble finally taking a stand aginst this bullshit.
