It’s never a great thing when following a playoff game, all that can be talked about is how one-sided and awful the officiating was. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened following the divisional round matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans. Two calls in particular drew the ire of fans, analysts, and commentary alike.
Will Anderson was called for roughing the passer on Patrick Mahomes on a third down, which led to the Chiefs kicking a field goal and getting three free points. Later on, the Texans were flagged for unnecessary roughness for hitting Mahomes as he slid, even though they hit one another in the helmet rather than Mahomes.
