Fans Are Enraged at Patrick Mahomes’ Defense of NFL Referees

It appears that everyone wants the Kansas City Chiefs to lose as they prepare to play in the AFC Championship. Fans in any sport eventually grow weary of seeing the same team triumph often. The New England Patriots experienced it. The Golden State Warriors were involved. The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently experiencing it.

Supporters are searching for any means to oppose the Chiefs. And they’ve got the ideal angle because Patrick Mahomes has been controversial, to put it mildly, by taking an unusually high number of penalties against defenders.

There were a few games versus the Houston Texans that infuriated the supporters. Although it is unlikely that Mahomes will acknowledge that NFL officials favor him, he responded to the criticism this week.

Referee assistance is denied by Patrick Mahomes

In an interview with the media on Wednesday, Mahomes was asked if he thought referees provided him with additional protection. The quarterback made it apparent that he doesn’t think so.

“I don’t feel that way. I just try to play football at the end of the day. The referees are doing their best to call the game as fair and as proper as they can.”

The Patriots experienced the same thing under Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, even though it might seem like the Chiefs receive an excessive number of calls that go their way. Bang-bang plays are amplified because the Patriots and Chiefs had more eyes on them than any other team.

There is no way to know if there is a reason why Mahomes and the Chiefs appear to be receiving more calls. Neither the NFL nor any referee will ever acknowledge it.
