Patrick Mahomes and the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0were humiliated by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, thus temporarily halting the conspiracy theory that the\u00a0NFL refs<\/a>\u00a0are \u201crigging\u201d games for them.<\/p>\n One of the top storylines heading into Super Bowl 59 was the state of\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0officiating. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs benefited from plenty of questionable calls throughout the 2024 NFL season, including the Houston Texans in the\u00a0Divisional Round<\/a>.<\/p>\n In that case, WIll Anderson Jr.\u00a0Joe Mixon<\/a>\u00a0and head coach DeMeco Ryans even publicly called out the officials after their season ended. But with the Chiefs losing 40-22 to Philadelphia in the big game, Ron Torbert and his officiating crew got to mostly avoid public scrutiny.<\/p>\n Dov Kleiman shared a fascinating Super Bowl stat that outlines how the Eagles were successful in Super Bowl 59. Patrick Mahomes\u2019s squad avoided a single holding penalty in their Super Bowl 54, 57 and 58 victories.<\/p>\n In their Super Bowl 55 and 59 losses? The officials flagged Kansas City for at least one holding penalty:<\/p>\n Insane: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are 3-0 in the Super Bowl when the Offensive Line is NOT called for any holding penalties.<\/p>\n They are 0-2 when they get called for at least ONE holding penalty.<\/p>\n And the NFL wants us to believe the refs aren\u2019t the reason they are\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/VTQRiCySyv<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) February 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
