NFL fans are convinced that something fishy is going on after Patrick Mahomes was seen talking to head official Clay Martin in the Kansas City Chiefs–Las Vegas Raiders Black Friday game.
Like last year, the NFL refs have faced plenty of accusations of “rigging” games for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs here in 2024. And let’s just say that Martin did himself no favors by having a conversation with Mahomes during the first quarter of today’s Black Friday game:
As you would expect, football fans wasted no time teeing off on Martin and his officiating crew after this video went viral:
“Ref said I got you in fantasy today so we’ll Make sure you have a big game,” one fan said.
“How many calls you need today Pat?,” another said.
“i told you to tell me if they are getting close to me i know sir, im sorry sir just dont let it happen again,” one X/Twitter user said.
“Listen I gotta make it look somewhat close if I gave you every call people will catch on,” a fan said.
“Never beating the allegations,” one fan said.
“This is usual,” wrote another.
“I know… I know… You need our help. Don’t worry we’ve got you,” another user said.
“Yeah man I got you but don’t be so obvious we don’t want the fans knowing your helping us,” said a fan.
If it makes you folks feel better, the officials have called a fair game between Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs and the Raiders. There haven’t been any terrible head-scratching or game-altering calls on either side.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Are Aiming For A Three-Peat
No team in history has won three straight Super Bowls, but the Chiefs are already two-thirds of the way there. And as the owners of the AFC’s top seed, KC is looking at the task of needing just two home wins to get back to the big game.
