The golf world was already fuming about what happened yesterday at the AFC Championship matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. As it is being reported, the officials and referees did something that was not very fair to the Bengals.
Kansas City sent its punt unit very early on the field during the fourth quarter. And as everyone could clearly see, they were punting. At least, that’s what the fans, the Chiefs, and the Bengals saw. However, the referees had something else on their minds. They blew the previous play dead and gave Kansas a complete do-over.

Here is how some of them responded:
Some suggested that the refs had already decided who they wanted to declare as the winners. And so, they gave the extra play based on their biased decisions.
We both know the answer to your question. Unfortunately the late hit will be what most remember but the refs did their damage throughout the game!

The refs decided before the game who was going to win. This is the way of the NFL

It’s clear the officials were definitely there to help Kansas City

My thoughts exactly. Seemed they were trying hard to give KC the game. And I was rooting for KC.

However, some thought there was nothing wrong with the decision and that the refs did this in every playoff. And some suggested it was due to a lack of focus on the players’ end.
They’ve been calling that every-time during the playoffs and regular season.

I mean .. the penalty near end of game .. is what did it .. not the refs just a lack of focus ..
— Alex Brown (@AlexBrownPGA) January 30, 2023
On the other hand, some suggested it was a special NFL strategy.
The refs totally won that game. The NFL wanted these teams in the super bowl and they made it happen
