The Houston Texans gave all they could against the Kansas City Chiefs, but two bad calls by the refs would ultimately screw them in the end.
NFL fans weren’t happy that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs benefitted from questionable penalties against the Texans.
After enjoying a week off, the number-one-seeded Kansas City Chiefs got back on the field and received an early gift when Texans star pass rusher Will Anderson was called for roughing the passer in the first half, even though he never made contact with Patrick Mahomes’ head.
What should’ve ended their possession with a punt got the Chiefs three points on the board.
The Houston Texans would be the victims of another questionable call on Patrick Mahomes, and that penalty would lead to a touchdown.
After the game, Will Anderson was one of many players on the team who were not happy about the outcome, but he took it further.
The Texans defensive end accused the refs of helping the Chiefs in the game, which is something he and his teammates expected to happen.

“WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE US VERSUS THE REFS GOING INTO THIS GAME.”
