The NFL referees’ labor union refuted the conspiracy theories that referees are favoring the Kansas City Chiefs in games. The union emphasized that officials are graded every week, with postseason assignments based on these grades, and that there is no collusion among the 138 officials to assist one team. The statement did not mention the Chiefs specifically but addressed the ongoing baseless allegations. Since Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs’ starting quarterback in 2018, the team has had significant success in the playoffs, with multiple Super Bowl wins. However, critics have pointed out that the Chiefs have received fewer penalty yardage in many postseason games compared to their opponents, suggesting potential bias in officiating. Despite these claims, the union maintains that officials strive to officiate games correctly and fairly. The statement aims to dismiss the idea of a conspiracy involving referees and the Chiefs, focusing on the dedication and integrity of NFL officials in making the right calls on every play.
