In a way, it's a complement. I'm not saying there is something sinister going on. The NFL protects its narratives. For years, it was the Patriots and Brady. Fans said it about the Broncos and Peyton. Now, it's the Chiefs and Mahomes.
The Kyle Pitts penalty last night? Come on. You can't see where people are coming from, at all?

Naturally, when presented with facts that don't fit the desired narrative, DenverFan pivots to "it's the timing."
Every KC fan is aware there have been a few fortuitous calls at the end of a few important games; namely the '22 AFCC and SB. But take the AFCC vs the Bengals, for example...what QB on the planet doesn't get a late hit flag when hit a full two yds out of bounds? Are you saying they should have held the flag because it was late in the game? And would the game have even been close if they hadn't wiped a KC TD off the board and negated an INT? Both of which were far less obvious penalties.
In the SB vs the Eagles, would the late holding call have mattered if they hadn't erased a KC TD on a very questionable call?
Yes, the narrative that haters have created is bogus and lazy. I'm not sure there's a team in the league that has more big plays taken away than KC, and as you can see above, they're consistently one of the most penalized teams in the league. Does the occasional fortuitous call equate to the refs propping them up? No, of course not.
Sunday night's game was a perfect example of the shameless bias of DenverFan. No mention of the three defensive penalties that carried ATL to the redzone on their final drive (one or two of which were awful calls), or the terrible roughing call that gave ATL a fresh set of downs and allowed them to score a TD.
That missed call on the second-to-last drive though! The injustice of it all! The favoritism!!
Bitter rival fans aren't hard to fathom. It is unfathomable that they pretend to be objective though.
