The NFL Referees Association on Tuesday joined league commissioner Roger Goodell in dismissing suggestions that officials favor the Kansas City Chiefs when working their games.

A day after Goodell called it a "ridiculous theory," NFLRA executive director Scott Green said in a statement that Goodell's comments were "spot on."

League rules prohibit officials from speaking publicly except in postgame pool reports that are monitored by the league. But Green, a retired referee speaking on behalf of the officiating union, pointed out that crews don't work more than two of any team's games.
