In the final minutes of Sunday’s game, a blocked field goal attempt helped the Kansas City Chiefs remain perfect on the season. The AFC’s top team gained another victory with a 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos. They are now 9-0 on the year.
However, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is facing some pretty significant scrutiny after a video from the game started circulating.

There are few things more blatant than that.
The Kansas City Chiefs are attempting an unprecedented feat by capturing their third consecutive Super Bowl this season.
According to Darrelle Lincoln of Total Pro Sports:
Fans who think the Kansas City Chiefs get preferential treatment from NFL officials are now being shown that they are not crazy for thinking so after Patrick Mahomes was caught on camera asking a ref to help him.
Officials have constantly missed calls on them or called penalties on opposing teams to greatly help them.
In an interview on the Up & Adams Show, Rob Gronkowski claimed that the Kansas City Chiefs receive more favorable referee calls compared to his time with the New England Patriots.
Mahomes has had the most interceptions called back since 2018, with 17 since 2018 called back to penalties.
