I can't imagine what the league and the refs have cooked up for this one. They've thought of pretty much every way to 'help' KC in big games, let's see if they come up with a new angle.
It is going to be roughing the passer or pass interference. You don’t need very much to call either one. Receivers and CBs grapple all game long, and they can just call a small tug on a jersey which you can find from either team on every play of the game. It’s tough for the chiefs to lose a close game. If they fail on four downs, that PI call just gives them a reset.
Or Mahomes just runs and begins to slide once a player has committed to a tackle. Or fake out of bounds on a run, then step toward the sideline when a defender commits to a tackle. That is 15 yards and a first down. The roughing the passer call is a turbo booster to a game winning drive.
You can’t keep the game close. We were burned by this before.
