The referees once again blatantly cheated to ensure the Chiefs left Atlanta with a win

Look, that's the way it is right now. We all know what the refereeing situation is going to be like when you play the Chiefs, and if you want to win, you just have to beat them so clearly that you don't leave anything to the referees.

Frankly, I don't blame the NFL for doing everything in their power to help the Chiefs. They are the top brand in the league right now and have millions of new football fans behind them. It would be a foolish business decision not to help them out every now and then.

And the Falcons got the ball again after that possession and made a crappy play on fourth-and-2 that ultimately lost the game. So the refs aren't the only reason Atlanta is 1-2 right now instead of 2-1. But they didn't help.

However, this play might not have happened if Atlanta had been forced to regain possession after scoring a touchdown.

Whatever. The Falcons are still good enough to win the NFC South, and they're not going to let the referees screw them over like that again, unless it's in the Super Bowl.
