NFL fans are convinced that the Denver Broncos-Kansas City Chiefs game was rigged on Sunday afternoon following another jaw-dropping finish involving the defending Super Bowl champions.

The Broncos had Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on the ropes, needing just a 35-yard field goal from reliable kicker Wil Lutz to hand the defending champs their first loss of the season.

But as usual, Kansas City found a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by blocking Lutz’s game-winning kick:

 

As you would expect, plenty of fans on social media claimed that this game was scripted for a Kansas City Chiefs victory:

 

Sunday’s victory over Denver came six days after the Chiefs narrowly escaped with a 30-24 overtime win over Baker Mayfield and the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Better to be lucky than good sometimes, huh?

Kansas City Chiefs Keep Perfect Season Hopes Alive

The Chiefs’ victory on Sunday makes them the first NFL club to start out 9-0 since the 2020 Pittsburgh Steelers, who won their first 11 games before dropping four of their final five games.

Up next, Kansas City will try to stay undefeated when they visit Josh Allen and the rival Buffalo Bills next Sunday.

NFL fans are convinced that the Kansas City Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘Monday Night Football’ game was rigged following several suspicious and fishy moments.

Three specific moments led to the “rigged” accusations from fans in Monday night’s thriller between the Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs. For starters, fans questioned why Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles opted for an extra point inside the final minute instead of a game-winning two-point conversion attempt.

Secondly, fans noticed Baker Mayfield’s strange reaction to Kansas City winning the overtime coin toss:

Secondly, fans noticed Baker Mayfield’s strange reaction to Kansas City winning the overtime coin toss, allowing them to get the ball first and drive down the field for the game-sealing score:

And finally, Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor got away with a blatant offensive tackle the play before Kareem Hunt’s game-winning touchdown:

Hence, all the calls that the game was “rigged” in favor of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs:

The Bucs kept the game closer than expected, but Patrick Mahomes had another field day for the Chiefs with 291 yards passing and three touchdowns. Hunt (106 rushing yards, one touchdown), Travis Kelce (14 catches for 100 yards) and DeAndre Hopkins (eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns) also proved too much for Tampa Bay

Kansas City Chiefs Move To 8-0 Following Nailbiting Victory

The Chiefs’ 30-24 win over Mayfield and company moved them to 8-0 on the season. The NFL’s last remaining undefeated team just keeps on finding new ways to win, and it’s clear they remain the team to beat with the postseason slowly approaching.
