The Kansas City Chiefs are once again at the center of a controversy, with claims of a conspiracy benefiting them through biased officiating. This theory has gained traction especially following their recent AFC title game victory over the Buffalo Bills, which featured contentious calls that seemingly favored the Chiefs.
Linebacker Drue Tranquill has taken to Twitter to dismiss the narrative, specifically addressing the detractors. He acknowledged the competitive spirit displayed by the Bills and challenged those urging the 'ref' narrative to reconsider their stance, urging them to 'kick rocks' while stating, 'We stand on business.'
The conspiracy theory surrounding officiating favors is not new; it mirrors accusations that plagued the New England Patriots during their dominant years in the early 2000s. However, the idea that such a widespread collusion could remain under wraps continues to stretch credibility.
