Sometimes they can't control it because it's so lopsided.
I've seen it too many times in too many games not associated with the Chiefs to believe we are bitching just because we suck.

Absolutely they don't want blowouts at all. Add to that their desire to push the soap opera story aspect of the game and then you get what we have.
Marcus Mariota is more interesting to a casual fan and was such a high pick the NFL has reason to push him above us.
