fewer blowouts is good for ratings, which is all they care about

As if the Chiefs need anymore help. This probally explains why Wilson and Mahomes have been able to do whatever they want on offense so far this season.

Also explains why the 3rd and long was converted in the SB.
I posted on GameDay thread that the Chiefs have had one holding call on 120+ dropbacks. Extrapolated over 600 drop backs, thats 5 holding calls. 49ers have been called for 3 in 90 dropbacks, that's 18 over 600 dropbacks. Like the offenses need more help.

Kyle had even brought that to the officials' attention prior to the game

Wow that is f**king amazing! I think there needs to at least be a rule where you can challenge a non-call or any call. I know there's holding supposedly on every play here and there but as long as it's a blatant holding that was not called you should be able to use a challenge or that non-call or a bad call. As we know in games that are evenly matched all it takes is a bad call or non call to win the game

When they swallowed their whistles in the 4th Q of the Super Bowl, did you feel this way?

Just more proof the League FO uses officials to manipulate games for optimal outcomes, matchups, and, ultimately, the $ bottom line. etc. And it's perfectly legal.

Well Chiefs were off their game (or maybe the refs) 3 offensive holding calls on 43 drop backs.
Bringing their season total to 4 offensive holding calls on 193 dropbacks
