AFC Championship Game Refs Already Accused Of 'Rigging' Game

The AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills isn't even a quarter old, but the refs are already being accused of "rigging" the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are leading the Buffalo Bills, 7-3, late in the first quarter on Sunday afternoon. Kansas City is looking to make the Super Bowl for the third straight year. Buffalo, meanwhile, is hoping to reach the Super Bowl for the first time under star quarterback Josh Allen.

The Chiefs have been on the receiving end of some questionable calls throughout the postseason. Sunday's Chiefs vs. Bills game is no different. Kansas City had a fumble early in the game, but it was negated by an offside call.

Once again, the Chiefs seemed to benefit from a penalty despite making a mistake on their own. NFL fans are tired of seeing it, even if the call was right.

"The refs didn't immediately eject Ed Oliver for taking the fumble from Mahomes? What the hell," one fan wrote.

"The nfl rigged as hell. Lol Mahomes drop the ball twice in one drive," one fan added.

"That flag was thrown after Mahomes fumbled. That was just blatant!" one fan added.

"No holding call when Mahomes scrambles! Never!" one fan added.

"If mahomes didn't fumble they weren't calling that offsides…this game is rigged…I never wanted to believe it game is over. I'm done," one fan added.

"The nfl is a rigged league now mahomes is winning it all again," one fan added.

"The NFL is so scripted and fake but yet expect us to believe that this extremely mediocre Chiefs team is this good. Please. Anyone with a logical mind knows the narrative behind it. Patrick Mahomes, the poster boy. Taylor Swift. So much money the NFL is stealing from loyal fans," one fan added.
