No, the refs aren't rigging games for the Chiefs. But Patrick Mahomes is clearly manipulating the league's QB-friendly rules. 🔗 http://dlvr.it/THt88B

Chiefs lose to the Patriots in OT in AFC championship. No rule change. Chiefs beat Bills in OT in AFC championship. Rules are changed. Chiefs beat Bills (again) in AFC championship. Must be time for another rule change, eh?

His backside tackle is notorious for being offsides..but rarely gets flagged. Mahomes gets an extra 15 for roughing calls PeeWee QBs wouldn’t get. Meh. Tired of the Chiefs, Mahomes, Butger and the Tomahawk cheer..GO IGGLES!

Not sure you know the actual meaning of manipulating. Either that or you’re full of garbage.

ALL QBs get calls. Gotta keep them from getting knocked out or we’re gonna be watching Skyler Thompson vs Tommy DeVito on MNF.

The calls in question vs. the Bills only 1 involved MaHomes & that was the Worthy catch that clearly was incomplete. The NFL has a perception issue & a lack of consistency issue when it comes to their officials. They need to use their tech correctly. Chip already in 🏈 gave JA17 a 1st down.
