For some reason, the Chiefs rarely seem to benefit from calls like this; or it's my own confirmation bias that I don't recall when they happen. What I do remember is seeing SI cover pictures of Peyton Manning with Tamba Hali being held like crazy, or Neil Smith being tackled while chasing Elway with the zebra standing there with his hand on the flag watching the play like he has money on it.
Personally, I think it's an unconscious bias driven by the desire for the NFL to have parity. It's all about the entertainment money and selling products to the people who watch. Although Mahomes is a special talent and we are lucky to have him, we also live in fly-over country and don't really matter. They will show pictures of Elway all night long however how often does Clark Hunt get shown on TV?
