Chiefs NOT helped by refs!

If a person wants to believe that the Chiefs are being helped by the refs they can find numbers to support that.

is it true? I dont know. When a team has long term success there is always talk of bias.... But a quick search can also show numbers the other way as well....

Since the 2021 postseason:

• The Chiefs have just 36 team penalties, while their opponents have 66
• The Chiefs have 319 penalty yards, while their opponents have 541
• The Chiefs have had more penalties than their opponent zero times in 10 postseason games since 2021

Now it could be that the other team is just committing more fouls. That could very well be. But, these are the same kind of stats that you posted as proof that there was no bias.

I'm not sure that it's all that weird that a great team commits less penalties when the season is on the line.
