The NFL likes upsets. The NFL is all over the Raiders' nuts.. which makes KC the enemy.
Call it tin-foil theory all you want.. but something foul is at play.
can a team win despite refs pushing an agenda? yes.. but it's an uphill climb, all the same.

Parity = Ratings.
If the AFCW kept running away from the pack...there is no drama in the last month for other divisions. People tune out and they lose millions.
This loss gave the NFC south teams hope along with every other division in the AFC. Miami is now 6-4. Having two 8-2 teams in the same division is bad for business.
KC is just a sacrificial pawn.....NFL PR has been gratuitously and universally pimping the Raiders since the off-season..which was odd for a 7-9 team last year. That was until they reported a vote was coming for $750 million in free stadium tax money was on the line. Then it all made sense...
