May have been mentioned already, but the Eagles spent their first timeout to avoid a delay of game on 3rd and 11 inside the Chiefs 20 with lead at 24-21 late in 3rd quarter. Chiefs stopped them after the timeout and Eagles kicked FG to make it 27-21.
If Eagles had not wasted that timeout, Chiefs would have had to try and score the TD on their last drive because a 3pt. lead with Eagles having 50 seconds and no timeouts would not be as good as 7 pt. lead with more time for the Eagles to have to score a TD to match.
Greg Olsen and all the other complainers were pretty much asking the referees to bail out Eagles for wasting a timeout.
