The Super Bowl, for the third time in three years, includes the Kansas City Chiefs. While many people believe that they are the best team in the NFL, their back to back to back appearances are raising questions about the legitimacy of their playoff runs. Is the NFL rigged in favor of the Chiefs?

In short, yes- the NFL is rigged in order to have the Chiefs get to and win the Super Bowl.

The primary theory is that the refs are calling games so that the other team has no chance of beating the Chiefs. In many of the Chief’s recent games, there have been crucial penalties which the outcome can change the momentum of the game. During the AFC championship game against the Bills, referees made multiple calls, including a taunting call, a 50/50 ball, and a short of the line of gain call which changed the outcome of the game in the Chiefs favor. These calls likely should have gone the other way had the refs been calling the game fairly.

Overall, the refs have missed calls against the Chiefs all season, and even biased fans agree that the refs are unfair at best. The reason that refs are a part of the game is to make sure the game fairly. It seems that now, they are there to ensure that the game is played according to the script. Hopefully in the future the refs will be fair and not attempt to rig games for the Chiefs or any team. In conclusion, it is likely that the refs are making these calls on purpose so that the Chiefs will win.
