Agreed. The nation hated/hates the patriots because they had 20+ years of constant allegations and proof of cheating. They were damaging the sport and undermining everyone's enjoyment of the game by doing so.
At worst for the Chiefs, the nation likes to root for underdogs and the Chiefs' opponents are always the underdog these days. Too bad for them.
As for the whining about the officiating, the Chargers had maybe - maybe! - one penalty called against them until the Chiefs pulled away for good. The only complaint at that point was that the refs started calling penalties against them so the penalty stats would look a bit more even at the end. But even then the Chiefs had more penalties called, and at more inopportune times.
