NFL fans are beginning to voice their concerns as the Kansas City Chiefs consistently find themselves on the winning side of controversial finishes. The debate is heating up, with some even starting a petition demanding the league to investigate the situation.
“I’m sure someone on Reddit has already received thousands of signatures after the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2,” said one fan, highlighting a crucial defensive pass interference call that extended the Chiefs’ game-winning drive. The controversy continued in their game against the Atlanta Falcons, where a potential DPI no-call worked in favor of the Chiefs once again.
The questionable calls have not gone unnoticed, as many believe that the Chiefs seem to get the benefit of the doubt more often than not. In a recent game, it appeared that a flag should have been thrown on Chiefs safety Bryan Cook for his defensive play against Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts in the end zone.
But amidst the ongoing debate, some are optimistic that a new quarterback could emerge to challenge the dominance of the Chiefs. Names like Sam Darnold, Geno Smith, and Justin Fields have been thrown into the mix, with hopes that one of them could be the one to dethrone Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
“Darnold, Smith, and Fields may not be on Mahomes’ level, but they have led their teams to a 3-0 record, just like the reigning champions,” said a football analyst. Could this be the start of a new era in the NFL where former first-round picks get a second chance to shine at an affordable price?
As the debate rages on, it’s clear that the NFL landscape is evolving, and only time will tell if the Chiefs’ controversial finishes will continue or if a new contender will rise to the occasion. Stay tuned as we dissect the winners and losers from Week 3 in the NFL.
