The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>\u00a0managed to stay unbeaten for the start of their regular season. But not without a fair share of controversial decisions that may have overshadowed their performance on the night. Although the Falcons went toe-to-toe with back-to-back Super Bowl Champions. It wasn\u2019t enough, as the Chiefs got their victory in Atlanta with a fair share of decisions going their way.<\/p>\n This led to many throwing referee bias allegations towards the Chiefs, as ex-NFLer Kurt Benkert posted,\u00a0\u201cHow do the Chiefs always get away with the calls? Like, actually, how?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Well, coming to their defense was Chiefs Heiress Tavia Hunt, who shared\u00a0an Instagram story hitting back against those allegations<\/a>. She said,\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t want to hear any whining about the officiating with the Bryan Cook missed PI. Yes, they got it wrong, just like how they incorrectly penalized Trent McDuffie with PI for the second week in a row.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Going back to the incident that got the NFL talking about the Chiefs getting an unfair advantage. It was the fourth quarter when the Falcons QB\u00a0Kirk Cousins<\/strong>\u00a0lofted a pass towards TE\u00a0Kyle Pitts<\/strong>\u00a0in the end zone. Before the pass could have been caught, replays showed that the Chiefs\u2019 safety,\u00a0Bryan Cook,<\/strong>\u00a0went for a tackle that wasn\u2019t given a defensive pass interference.<\/p>\n This led many to express their opinion about the referee\u2019s call,\u00a0\u201cShould have been PI on Cook on the Pitts target.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>While others called out the NFL for being biased towards the reigning Super Bowl champions,\u00a0\u201cNFL no PI!? C\u2019mon now. Y\u2019all are allowed to call flags on the Chiefs, ridiculous.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n However, this call didn\u2019t help Kansas City offense, who went three-and-out on the next drive. The away team was on the receiving end of a number of questionable referring calls, including a roughing the passer call (15-yard penalty, automatic first down) on Chris Jones that erased the Falcons\u2019 three-and-out. The home team went on to score a touchdown on that drive. However, when it mattered the most, the Chiefs\u2019 defense held on, thereby coming away with a victory from Mercedes-Benz Stadium.\u00a0This is not the first time that the Chiefs have been fortunate with referee calls this season.\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0also spoke about the decision they got in their week 2 victory over the\u00a0Bengals.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Going back to the second week, when the Chiefs got a pass interference call on the Bengals safety,\u00a0Daijahn Anthony,<\/strong>\u00a0on 4th and long.\u00a0This eventually led to\u00a0Harrison Butkar<\/strong>\u00a0scoring a field goal with 48 seconds remaining on the clock. Shedding light on that decision,\u00a0Jason Kelce,<\/strong>\u00a0on his\u00a0New Heights podcast,<\/em>\u00a0asked his brother Travis Kelce,\u00a0\u201cNobody likes a fourth down conversion that is essentially given to the Chiefs, but the reality is, what do you want the official to do?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Expressing his thoughts about the same, Kelce stated,\u00a0\u201cDid we get lucky? Yeah, we got fortunate that they threw the flag on that 4th and 16. At the end of the day, you can\u2019t put it in the ref\u2019s hands that late in the game. If you\u2019re gonna put it in the ref\u2019s hands, you\u2019re playing with fire.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Even the fans remembered that controversial call last Sunday when the Chiefs managed to get another this weekend.\u00a0\u201cBengals CB plays the b\u2014 and gets called for PI. Chiefs commit textbook PI(head turned, early contact, not playing the b\u2014), no flag.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nTravis Kelce\u2019s thoughts on the Chiefs getting an unfair advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n
