If they want to call a game ultra-tight, that's one thing. It ruins the game, but whatever. But they called it so one-sided that it was a farce. I saw at least seven penalties in the first half that should have been called on the Rams and weren't. They were calling it ultra-tight on the Chiefs and ultra-loose on the Rams.
Whether you want to talk about bias or not, I think anyone can agree that the officiating dominates the game these days. If the officials call a bad game, like they did tonight, it can change the final outcome of the game, which it did tonight.
I guess the NFL is happy, though, because people who know nothing about football probably enjoyed the game.

I pretty much said from the offset that there was no way the NFL lets LA lose this game if they can help it. They did just enough...
Rams dropping two back and the Chargers dropping 2 back, simultaneously, is unacceptable.
This "crack-jack" officiating crew was a smoke-n-mirrors move. Let the fans believe they are the best so they can dictate the outcome with impunity. I've never seen Reid lose his cool...but he did.
KC's offense has started hot...so obviously the agenda was to slow them down in the 1st quarter. They called 3 penalties on kick-off returns to pin KC deep....this is a new method for controlling games. The first one was ridiculous and cost KC about 35 yards of FP.
The advertising contracts dictate the games now...and LA has 20 million people and a new stadium being built. They need to justify the outrageous money corporate America is spending on ads. Last I checked 20 million is greater than 2 million (KC).
I'm not really even upset or surprised...kind of chuckled when KC had 9 flags in like 7 minutes.
Both LA teams benefited in one night..even Mahomes cant compete with that.
