KC gets off the field on a few of those drives and they win...instead of a third down pass conversion they are slapped with a 10 yard penalty.
It was glaring to me...I was watching that facet all game.
It was almost halftime before the first penalty was thrown...the commentators mentioned it would have been the only time this season that happened....160 games.

I'll consign to this statement. The officials absolutely dictate the outcome of games, and anyone who chooses to think otherwise is absolutely ignoring it...and today is a fantastic example. With just enough suck from ReidSmith for people to intimate that the Chiefs also didn't play well enough to win.
But yeah, lots of holding went uncalled. I seem to remember Poe getting clothes lined on one play. It was very WWE-esque out there today, that's for sure.
