Suspicious Video Has Buffalo Bills Fans Claim NFL ‘Rigged’ Game For Kansas City Chiefs And Patrick Mahomes

Originally posted on Gridiron Heroics | By Jordan Sigler | Last updated 1/22/24

Buffalo Bills fans are claiming the NFL rigged the Kansas City Chiefs win in the Divisional Round Sunday night after a questionable video surfaced from the game. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes survived his road game in the playoffs to escape Buffalo with a 27-24 win.

The Bills had their chances to win. But they could not convert on a few critical drives to win the game. The Bills were lucky to be in the game in the fourth quarter after a few turnovers, and near turnovers could have given the Chiefs a chance to take a double-digit lead.

Patrick Mahomes gets a favorable call

However, the Bills were allegedly victims of one questionable call. A suspicious video of a pass interference penalty called on the Bills surfaced on X by Dave Kluge. The contract for the PI appeared to happen before Mahomes released the football.

The Bills could have been called for holding, but the officials gave the Chiefs a first down via the PI. The Chiefs would go on to punt on the drive.

Contact was initiated with Rashee Rice well before Mahomes released the ball. Very clear in the second replay.

Absolutely not pass interference.pic.twitter.com/WMTHFznxQV

Buffalo Bills fans call the game rigged

Bills and NFL fans upset with the call claimed the game was rigged in Mahomes and the Chiefs’ favor.

Those fans didn’t spend too much time acknowledging the league gave the Bills a favorable call on Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s fumble at the goalline that saved the Bills a two-score deficit. They also didn’t discuss a favorable forward pass on the Bills opening drive that allowed Buffalo to take a 3-0 lead.

Here are the best takes of Bills and NFL fans calling the game rigged.

Rice got hit before the ball was in the air this is rigged

Rigged, it’s miraculous how the Chiefs stayed under the 8.5 point spread. Almost like they made sure to stay under it.

The Bills vs Chiefs game was rigged. Pfizer paid off the refs and the Bills kicker at end so that Kelce & Taylor can promote the Pfizer vax at the Super Bowl….

Make the NFL great again!

The super bowl will be won by the Chiefs! It's all rigged. The NFL will not let a Kelce/Swift super bowl go to waste.
