The owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, Clark Hunt, closed the conspiracy theory that the referees are helping the team to win.
Hunt, 59, said he believes that people are using the referee’s favoritism theory as an excuse of why bosses have been so successful.
“You almost have to laugh at that, because you know how everyone in the NFL wants to compete to win, and that is also true for our boys. The referees are doing the best work they can. If you look at statistics or many statistics, that shows that We have been on the wrong side of the calls as often as we have been on the right side. ” Hunt said in an interview with NFL Network.

“There is definitely no conspiracy, right? It is the nature of the game. And when you start to be very successful, people like to start putting excuses why you have success.”
In the Chiefs victory over the Buffalo bills in the AFC championship, there were two particular calls that promoted the conversation with respect to the referees.
The failed conversion of the fourth intensity of the field marshal of Los Buffalo Bills Josh Allen in an advance of QB became a very discussed topic because some observers questioned whether the chiefs really stopped him below a first attempt.
The receiver of the Chiefs Xavier Worthy receiver while fighting the security of the Bills, Cole Bishop for the ball in the first half, also had the skeptical fans that the referees made the right call because it seemed that Bishop had good control In the ball.
Regardless of the sanctions that attract the anger of fans, one of the main reasons for the sustained excellence of the Chiefs is the work of Marshal of Campo Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.

“I think it’s true for all the big ones, and it really doesn’t matter what sport we are talking about. Basketball, football, hockey, football, baseball, the greats in the most important moments are at their best and Patrick has shown That every year.
If Mohomes continues its level of excellent game in the postseason, the Chiefs will have a good opportunity to become the first team in the NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Hunt said that every time you have the opportunity to play at the Super Bowl it is special, but this Super Bowl means a little more due to the opportunity to make history.
“Any opportunity you have to play in the Super Bowl is always special. Obviously, this year it also has a little more because we have the opportunity to make history. It is something we have been aware of the whole year. The coach Reid has made a great I work by keeping the boys focused because you do not get here unless you pay attention every week, take the opponent of that week as seriously as you can and play your best football. And I know that our boys are excited about that. “
