The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Atlanta Falcons 22-17 on Sunday Night Football. But, like many games involving Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, it ended in controversy. The Falcons, down 22-17 with less than 5 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter, decided to go for it on fourth down. And it appeared that the Chiefs committed a pass interference penalty, but there was no call. See it for yourself:

Well, yes, the refs seemed to have missed that call. And fans are beside themselves thinking that the NFL wants to make sure the Chiefs always win. However, yes, the call was missed, but, the Chiefs seem to get these calls because they are always in a position to win games. The Chiefs move to 3-0 on the season and the Atlanta Falcons fall to 1-2.Spot the difference.

Last week refs threw a flag cause the Bengals player got there early.
This week they didn’t throw a flag cause ???
