After the Texans lost to the Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs, their head coach DeMeco Ryans and players from the team made comments about having to play against both the Chiefs and the officials.

The Chiefs are middle of the league in penalties accepted. Fun fact: The Bills, by the numbers, get more calls than KC does.
These coaches, and fans, need to get off social media. Payton lost because he got outcoached and the Chiefs are a better team, same with the Texans. He should be focusing on improving on special teams, who gave up a blocked field goal that clinched the game for KC. Houston should focus on their o-line, which gave up eight sacks to the Chiefs D-line and kicked Joe Mixon’s ass the entire game.
This narrative of Chiefs bias is the algorithm keeping your eyes glued to nonsense so they can feed you more ads.
The Chiefs are just better than your team. That’s it.
(Though it is ironic that a proven and punished cheater like Sean Payton is the one making these complaints after he paid his players to lay dirty hits.)
I’ll take four honest losses in a row over whatever crap the cheifs are doing now. Enjoy it I guess.
Your comment is entirely unreasonable, especially as concerns the Bills game, because they played a whole quarter of crappy football. That first quarter had far more to do with their loss than anything else, even if the officiating had been bad. (Which it wasn’t.)
The Chiefs have not only won honestly, but they’ve done some pretty awesome things to pull out wins this season, like the last-second blocked field goal against Denver.
Awesome by definition.
I’m not sure if there Bills really get more calls than KC does. Having watched the Bills all season, though, I bet Josh Allen leads the league in begging for calls.
Statistically, they do. They were third in the league in penalties accepted this season.
Minnesota was first.
Ah, well that might just be an artifact of getting to play the Jets twice a year, it probably skews the numbers
Edit: Seriously, though, I wonder if anyone keeps track of RTP penalties separately …
Edited edit: this site is interesting, it breaks it down by QB. Allen drew 7 more RTP calls, in 9 fewer games, than Mahomes…

True.
I just like that the narrative people are clinging to is directly contradicted by the numbers, and they sorta just ignore it.
