VIDEO: Social Media Is Convinced That Bills-Chiefs AFC Championship Game Is “Rigged” Following Multiple Incredibly Fishy Calls From The NFL Refs
Football fans are already convinced that the Kansas City Chiefs–Buffalo Bills AFC Championship Game is “rigged” following several suspicious calls by Clete Blakeman’s crew.
One of the top storylines coming into the AFC Championship Game was how the officials would perform. The Chiefs were the beneficiary of several terrible calls in last week’s Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans, including a pair of “Roughing the Passer” calls drawn by Patrick Mahomes.

Additionally, it looked like the Chiefs got away with several block in the back calls during Nikko Remigio’s 41-yard punt return to set up his team’s third touchdown of the game:
The performance of the refs in the first half has fans convinced that the refs are “rigging” the AFC Championship Game for the home team.

“Officials are a joke!,” said a fan.
