NFL Referees Blatantly Help Chiefs Cheat During Dolphins Game (Video)
NFL Referees Blatantly Help Chiefs Cheat During Dolphins Game (Video)
NFL referees often get a bad reputation among fans. It is a natural part of the game.
That said, the NFL’s referees put together an all-time bad performance during this weekend’s Sunday morning showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins.
One sequence in particular really illustrated the favoritism that the NFL’s referees showed the defending champs.
During a Dolphins drive just before halftime, Tyreek Hill got the ball and was hit by cornerback Trent McDuffie. The ball came out, and chaos ensued.

The ruling on the field was that Hill fumbled, safety Mike Edwards scooped the ball up and that he properly lateraled the ball to Bryan Cook who ran it in for a 60-yard score.
Not everyone felt that was a valid interpretation of what occurred, though.
This is the “fumble” by Tyreek Hill
1. What about forward progress??
2. Was that even a completed pass?

Ball is coming out before there’s even contact. How does it not even get looked at? Unbelievable work @NFL pic.twitter.com/BUzWLaVATj

Yes, it’s a fumble but it doesn’t matter. This team is fraudulent with a capital F. They have gotten curb stomped by every respectable team they have played. They wither against any physical team.

It could have been called dead. If he were a running back up the middle it would have been. But it was close. One thing I’ve come to terms with. The questionable calls seem to rarely go our way.

Yeah, didn’t look right.
But we need to get it together and make some noise in the 2nd half. Make it a game! #FinsUp

It is hard to argue with those points about Hill not having proper possession of the ball.
Obviously the NFL is very invested in the Chiefs as a whole. They are the defending champions and are the league’s most popular team right now.
Between Brittany Mahomes constantly going viral over her racy photos, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift getting busted being frisky in their car last week and just all the eyeballs on the franchise right now, there is a certain degree of pressure to keep Kansas City’s run going.

That said – fair is fair.
Miami was already facing an uphill battle coming into this game, and having the NFL’s referees blatantly working against them didn’t help.
Will the league come out and address why the NFL’s referees so blatantly seemed to be helping the Chiefs in their effort to beat the Dolphins this weekend? Time will tell.
