The blindside block was not made by the referee Cheffers, it was called by the side judge.

The flag was against McKinnon on a Mahomes scramble and I haven't seen a replay of Pacheco getting his helmet ripped off but the dudes hands were at the front of his helmet and I don't think it's possible to remove his helmet that violently without using his facemask.

I think the McKinnon call may be the JuJu fumble. Looks like a legal block because McKinnon's belt buckle was facing the end zone the Chiefs were attacking and not the one they were defending.

McKinnon did not use much force and the defender saw McKinnon before the contact and delivered a blow to McKinnon that knocked McKinnon down.

I could understand why a dumbass official that is on a dumbass crew would miss the call, but that McKinnon block on that play was not the type of block that the rule was intended to prevent.

You are correct. I was wrong about which play it was.

The thing is that this crew had litany of terrible calls that were definitely lopsided in Houston's favor and it's ok to acknowledge they sucked and not strain for justifications for their putrid performance.

That crew sucks in general and throws way too many flags.

No doubt they sucked. Put as for extending drives on 3rd down penalties on passing plays. The Texans were playing that Lovie Smith Tampa 2 zone scheme and not using hands before the ball got there, they were trying to hit the intended receiver and cause incompletions or turnovers.

If the other team is not using hands on receivers and the officials are calling DBs using hands on receivers, change your technique and stop getting penalty calls.

It was poor officiating and it was one sided, but one sided on pass defense starts to become the Chiefs fault if they do not adjust for the way pass defense is being officiated.

Carl Cheffers has a massive issue with Travis Kelce and likely the fan base after the Raider game.

You saw a ref crew make it personal yesterday.

22% of Chiefs penalties have come in the two games Cheffers has called this season.

If I was Clark, I would quietly "suggest" that Mr Cheffers never, ever again call a Chiefs game. End of story.

NFL officiating is broken. Mahomes is the face of the NFL. They need to protect him. How does he not get that call?

To be fair Mahomes is not very protected by any reffing crews. He doesn't get calls a lot of guys get.
