Interrupting the Mahomes interview post game to say a similar line was even more cringe.
Gotta love Mahomes, always keeps it classy. I'm sure there was plenty he wanted to say also but he's better than that.

"Any chance you could throw a TD pass in the fourth quarter of a playoff game at some stage?" my guess.

Every new time it happens it's the most blatant. But it's always blatant. Eg, Seahawks vs Rams a couple of weeks ago. It's been happening for years under Goodell's tenure.

The NFL like the AFL will never ever admit they have diabolical officials that blow games for teams every week. Everyone just has to suck it up and accept that incompetence and blatant cheating drive and decide results in both sports.

Exactly, ive seen far worse than today. Nobody talks about it coz its the Browns and Panthers, but go back and watch the final drive of that game in week 1. If you want to see the officials carry a team to victory look no further than that game.
Get over it.

The entire NFL rules are suspect. The Burrow late hit was soft (not called). The Mahomes hit was soft (called). Flags should only be egregious. Why we have all this inconsistency and perception of favoritism. RTP, DPI, etc.

The only call I was completely against was when they recalled the third down , and the Chiefs punted a couple of plays later anyway. You see ticky tack calls like the rest of them throughout any game.
The push OOB was right, the intentional grounding was right coz the throw away didnt make it past the LOS and they converted the third and long anyway.

Great game, would love to know how much that last Mahomes run hurt to participate in.

Bengals certainly had their chances despite the officiating. Plus, they had Mahomes on one leg and missing Sneed as well as two WRs. Bengals, tho missing key OL, still had Chase, Higgins. Burrow couldn't engineer late scoring drives to snuff out the Chiefs, when they had them on their knees.
Chiefs deserved the win, but that doesnt excuse the officiating. Not just today but all season, and all these years. NFL is so frustrating to be enthused over due to that. Too many games/results are impacted, too many incorrect or undeserving teams making playoffs or Conference games or Super Bowls due to poor officiating.
When there's a perception of fixing, or weekly bad officiating effecting results, it creates eventual disinterest. Fans want legitimacy.

The good thing about the refereeing in the NFL and NBA on the weekend is that no matter the level of professionalism, calls will be made and calls won’t be made. Something AFL scribes should keep in mind.

Some years ago, the NFL released an instructional video on what constitutes holding and what doesn't in the trenches and it really does make it easier for fans to understand when watching games.
Basically, any rip move made entitles OL to hook them in. Otherwise, any time a defender's momentum is prevented from moving in a different direction, not allowing them freedom to release, is a hold. Also, you can take a player to the ground if their momentum is taking them there, but you can't take them to the ground if their momentum was not going that way.

Re: reaching the ball out....
If you're not being contacted and you reach forward with the ball then voluntarily brick it back, then get tackled and brought to the ground, you are spotted where you went down not where you reached the ball out.
But if you're being contacted, fighting thru a tackle, play not dead yet, and reach the ball out then bring it back, you'll earn the most forward point when spotted.
It's why say QBs when scrambling for the marker on the sideline, uncontacted, keep the ball out as they cross the sideline and don't bring it back in before crossing the sideline.
Same goes for crossing the plane of the goalline. Being contacted/tackled, push the ball out then pull it back....yes TD, forward progress. But if untouched and hold it out over then pull it back, but then get tackled short...not a TD. You just don't see that variety often.

I think cities that will never have the chance to host a Super Bowl should get the chance to host a home conference championship game.
