The NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell tried to dismantle any notion of favoritism of officials to the heads of the city of Kansas on Monday during his press conference LIX prior to the bowl.
Goodell was asked about the NFL trade theory, which is derived from the insinuation that chiefs are at the receiving end of favorable calls during the games. He came to light during the team’s playoffs on Bills by Houston Texans and Buffalo.

But Goodell dissipated the idea.
“This reminds me of a little ‘the script’, right? I write a script and I have a script for all seasons,” he said. “I think many of these theories are things that happen on social networks, and get a new life … nobody wants it to be their theory.
“I understand it. I think it reflects the passion of many fans. I think it is also a reminder for us about how important arbitration is. I think the men and women who officiate the NFL are outstanding. They have the highest possible standards. That is a ridiculous theory for anyone who can take it seriously, but at the end of the day, it is something we always have to work on, how we make our trade better at all times. “

The two calls in their victory over the Texans lit a fire storm. The penalties were called after the successes in the Marshal of Campo Patrick Mahomes. Also some questionable calls in the victory over the Bills also raised their eyebrows.
Fox NFL analyst Rob Gronkowski told Fox Digital that he noticed that officials were a bit more “indulgent” towards the Chiefs.
Anyway, Goodell defended the officials and highlighted the competition.

“If you look at the Chiefs record, which I think is something incredible,” he said. “People talk about competitiveness in our league, the chiefs with their 15 victories, 11 of those 15 games were inside a score. I think they talk about the competitiveness of our game and the importance of how we officiated, but also the competitiveness of How we play it. “
