Of course, that's not the sensationalized headline. Instead, they focus on the smaller sample size postseason. Anything to fit the narrative.

No one cares about stats. They will always just say but when it actually matters, Chiefs get the call. Objective facts are irrelevant in today’s society.
All that data shows is that the chiefs opponents have committed more penalties in those playoff games. You could look at all games and make a case that the officiating “favored” the winning team.
These types of narratives are why they’re getting over-penalized today. Not saying the penalties aren’t legit, because some of them are. Especially on Taylor. But they’re on our ass, we can’t even block on kickoffs. Everything is a penalty. Absolutely everything. But it’s cool, whatever, guess we had our time in the sun when it comes to the refs. Our reign with them was short, compared to the decades before Andy and Mahomes of getting straight shafted by the refs. We had about a 5-6 year run with the refs and the internet couldn’t handle it.
“Listen, we’re not saying the NFL is rigging games, but that’s exactly what we’re implying. #dontsueus”
People take away from these stats what they want to. Goal posts will always move to fit whatever motive.

My favorite part of this is that it’s given with zero context.
Here’s an important bit. In almost every one of the 13 games used for this data, the Chiefs have held the lead at halftime. So not only have they played clean games, they’ve put pressure on opposing teams to keep up and forced them into errors.
People citing this are completely and irrationally butthurt.
Yeah this is a garbage article.
The brain rot on Reddit nfl pages is wild. I found this on that shitty ass nfl v2 page and literally not one comment had actually read the paper, just the headline. Sorry guys, people hate winners and everyone is a victim lol the rest of the fans from all nfl teams and pages are fucking losers
Its easier to say postseason only and then they stick their fingers in their ears when you point out that maybe people just get tight when they play a team that has done as well as KC has since Mahomes took over.
Same thing happened with peak Brady/Patriots. People beat themselves by playing our of character.
