    It was painfully obvious. I bet half the folks watching thought, 'well, KC is going to
    the Super Bowl' before Mahomes even hit the ground.

    NFC Game sucked, because the QB of one team gets hurt. AFC Game was good, until it ended on a moronic play.

    I don't see a lot of people making that argument. Most people hate that it happened, but realized it had to be thrown.

    Now a lot of people were frustrated by some other key calls throughout the game that they perceived(rightly or wrongly) to really favor
    the chiefs.

    Such as the failure to call holding on the same play where there was roughing.

    And Taylor was arguing that was holding on an attempting seal on that final punt return towards the sidelines by KC. That would have ended up being about a 30 yard difference I believe.

    Now I don't know whether it was or not. And really don't care. And I'm certainly the last person to complain about officiating(I just view it as part of the breaks of the game). But there is no
    doubt that a significant number of people thought the chiefs were the beneficiaries of key calls and non-calls throughout the game. Whether they are right or not
    I don't know.
