Buffalo Bills fans are claiming the NFL rigged the Kansas City Chiefs win in the Divisional Round Sunday night after a questionable video surfaced from the game. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes survived his road game in the playoffs to escape Buffalo with a 27-24 win.
The Bills had their chances to win. But they could not convert on a few critical drives to win the game. The Bills were lucky to be in the game in the fourth quarter after a few turnovers, and near turnovers could have given the Chiefs a chance to take a double-digit lead.
Patrick Mahomes gets a favorable call
However, the Bills were allegedly victims of one questionable call. A suspicious video of a pass interference penalty called on the Bills surfaced on X by Dave Kluge. The contract for the PI appeared to happen before Mahomes released the football.
The Bills could have been called for holding, but the officials gave the Chiefs a first down via the PI. The Chiefs would go on to punt on the drive.
Buffalo Bills fans call the game rigged
Bills and NFL fans upset with the call claimed the game was rigged in Mahomes and the Chiefs’ favor.
Those fans didn’t spend too much time acknowledging the league gave the Bills a favorable call on Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s fumble at the goalline that saved the Bills a two-score deficit. They also didn’t discuss a favorable forward pass on the Bills opening drive that allowed Buffalo to take a 3-0 lead.
Here are the best takes of Bills and NFL fans calling the game rigged.
