Maholmes can have one of his worse games and the refs simply refuse to let him lose a close game. If the score is tied and the chiefs get the ball last you can bet your bottom dollar refs will try their best to help them get the win. It’s been going on since Mahomes arrived. Any team that wants to beat them better have a four TD lead at the two-minute warning or Chiefs 99% of the time are winning the game.
For the refs to tilt it to the Chiefs, they just “miss” the hands to the face on the previous 51 yard play. Plus the the Chiefs need a kicker able to hit from 51 and not choke, while the Bengal kicker missed a PAT. I agree, it was one of Mahomes’ worst games though, he needs Kelce or a replacement to be able to get open.
I completely agree with your assessment.
