Strictly numerically, yes, as visiting teams penalized more than K.C. in 10\u002Dof\u002D11 home post\u002Dseason games in Mahomes era — but former NFL head of officiating…
Conspiracy theorists all believe yes, as it seems millions of dispassionate others do, too, given how social media blew up following Kansas City’s narrow win over the Cincinnati Bengals, aided by a string of late penalties — some controversial — in the AFC championship game a week ago Sunday.Article contentThe Chiefs advanced to play the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday night in Super Bowl LVII .
First, those numbers. Those of you certain the NFL is conspiratorially helping the Chiefs win playoff games will love the following raw stats. But in 11 home playoff games since 2018 opponents have been flagged 63 times in total, or 5.7 per game, compared to 46 for the Chiefs, or 4.2 times per game.Article content
“Because then you’re inevitably going to allow teams to get away with certain things and gain an unfair advantage. So, no. But with certain officials, there may be a tendency to be less likely to inject themselves into the game by throwing flags.”Article content “When you do look at those numbers, yes, the opponents were called for more fouls, but it’s one-and-a-half more per game. That’s not abnormal. If, over the course of six or seven years, the Chiefs’ opponents were getting 15 fouls called, and the Chiefs two or three, that would jump out more as a problem. But the league is aware of all those things, and that’s just part of it.”“It’s something we have looked at,” Blandino said.
What about this observation — that, beyond individual infractions, isn’t it that fans don’t really want a game to be officiated FAIRLY but rather EQUALLY? Equal penalty counts?
