The call on the hit on Mahomes out of bounds was correct
Yes it was, but that doesnt mean that the refs didnt HEAVILY rig the game for Mutthomes.
They claim that the stadium was loud, that is why no one could hear the refs whistle, but that claim is a lie because KC offense was on the field, the stadium was not loud during that play. No whistle was heard because no ref blew any whistle.
One comment --> It's not crazy loud in any stadium while the home team offense has the ball. Every stadium puts QUIET, OFFENSE AT WORK on every screen. Fans drown out opposing play calls, not their own. They simply claimed a whistle was blown after the fact. The side ref silently walked on the field just in case KC failed to gain the first down. He wasn't blowing a whistle.
he let the play go. It wasn’t crowd noise. There was no ******* whistle.
The refs gave the chiefs an extra time out and an extra down bare minimum in this game. Also, changes in field position and condensing the game in the fourth quarter at a bare minimum
None of the Chiefs coaches heard the whistle nor seen the refs wave their arms to shut down the play. They sent the punt team out. Bengals coaches sent their special teams players out. Funny how the armchair ref's seen and heard, but the Coaches of BOTH teams moved to 4th down.... There would have been no PI, if the ref's didn't give them an extra 3rd down on a play that was clearly played and incomplete moving the Chiefs to 4th down...
Not to mention all the refs have earbuds to communicate with each other
Arrowhead isn’t that loud when the Chiefs are in offense. Also, you can clearly hear the end-of-play whistle, so that’s BS
"this is sooooo incredibly..... crazy" we all know he wanted to say rigged but he didn't want to lose his job
That extended drive took time off the clock which means it absolutely effected the game directly. That ref should be in fear everywhere he goes and definitely never set foot in Cincinnati
They still punted” field position was everything in this game, so yes this was a big deal
No stadium in the league is loud while the home team has the ball. They're loud when opponents have the ball. That's why every screen says "QUIET, OFFENSE AT WORK" or "GET LOUD" depending on which team has the ball. They lied about the whistle. You're among the only people on US soil buying the whistle lie. Yes he walked on the field but there's a 0% chance he was blowing the whistle.
So at :40, the Chiefs get an opportunity to see how the defense is lined up, and suddenly, the ball needs to be "adjusted." After failing, and no ref comes in to stop the play, which happens every time there is a false start, just a hair before the snap, they allow all changes to be made and THEN say naw, they need to do all that over.
Yeah, Chiefs were "destined" to win.

I can name two NFL "contests" much more blatantly rigged than this. Mahomes finally beating the Patriots for the first time in the regular season had two blatantly inaccurate calls upheld. When Kelce was gang tackled exactly two yards short of the first down, a ref carried the ball forward exactly seven feet and called it a first down. An irate Bill Belichick wasted his challenge flag, clearly still thinking it was a legitimate contest with an egregiously erroneous ruling to correct. Romo explained the problem while slow motion replays proved the error. When the booth upheld the bogus spot, Romo was left speechless and BB had to accept this is WWE on the gridiron.
Later N'Keal Harry has his touchdown denied as refs pretended he stepped out of bounds. Replay proved he never stepped within four feet of the paint, but this was another one of those times when refs don't allow reality to prevent the predetermined results.
