NFL Fans Are Already Convinced That Chiefs-Chargers Game Is “Rigged” After Sketchy Details Emerge On Head Referee Calling The Game

Football fans are already calling the Kansas City Chiefs-Los Angeles Week 4 contest “fixed” after new details emerged on the NFL refs assigned to the game.

Veteran NFL official Shawn Smith and his crew have been assigned the Chiefs-Chargers showdown at SoFi Stadium this Sunday. And for those who think the NFL refs play a helping hand in the Chiefs’ success, you might want to look away.

As noted by the ML Football X/Twitter account, the road team won the vast majority of games officiated by Smith and his crew last season. Per Pro Football Reference, the home team only won 17.65 percent of games officiated by Smith last season.

For comparison’s sake, the 2023 home team winning percentage was 56.14:

And so, fans are convinced that the NFL refs have already “fixed” Sunday’s game in favor of Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.


 

It’s worth noting that Smith was the official for the Chiefs-Baltimore Ravens AFC Championship Game last year. But the Chiefs have lost their last two regular-season games with Smith as the official — vs. the Philadelphia Eagles last year and at the Indianapolis Colts in 2022.

So hold your horses on the early talk that the NFL refs have already rigged the game for Mahomes and the Chiefs. For all the doubters know, Smith and his crew will put on a strong officiating performance at SoFi Stadium.

Not The First Time NFL Fans Believed A Game Was Rigged For The Chiefs This Season

Unfortunately, there has been no shortage of questionable officiating calls and controversies during the young 2024 NFL season.

The Chiefs were the beneficiary of a questionable pass interference call against Daijahn Anthony of the Cincinnati Bengals that led to Harrison Butker’s game-winning field goal in Week 2. Then a week later, Bryan Cook of the Chiefs got away with blatant pass interference on Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts in the end zone, taking away what should have been a first-and-goal situation late in the fourth quarter.

Everyone Is Praying For Baker Mayfield And His Wife After The Couple Was Forced From Their Home In Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.

The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.

Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.

“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”

Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.

“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”

Fans Were Praying For Baker Mayfield And Florida After Learning He Had To Evacuate His Home

Fans offered prayers for Mayfield, his family, and the city after coming across the update on X/Twitter.

“Praying everyone stays safe,” a user wrote.

“I’m glad they are safe! Family is more important than football. I’m glad that they were not in danger,” a second added.

“Wishing the best for the Bakers and the communities involved. 🙏,” said a third.

Helene was the first category storm to reach Florida’s Big Bend region in over 170 years.

The natural disaster is understood to have claimed several lives, including in the state. It has since been downgraded to a tropical depression but is still considered to be dangerous as it makes its way to the southeastern coast.

The Buccaneers are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Eagles at home this Sunday. The NFL has not announced any changes in kickoff time or venue so far.

PHOTO: Paparazzi Cameras Caught A Bitter Looking Travis Kelce On A Lunch Date With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce was caught sulking while on a date with girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was trying to enjoy a meal in peace but, as he should have expected, the paparazzi was out in full force.

According to TMZ, Travis and Taylor hit Nobu Malibu in the daytime, so there was no way they were going to escape the cameras.

The couple hit up one of the most frequented hot spots in town Sunday by dropping in on Nobu Malibu — and in broad daylight, no less … so you know they were ready to be snapped by paps, and they 100% were,” the publication reported.

The celebrity pair sat out on a balcony seat facing the ocean and were later seen holding hands on their way out. At one point, Kelce stared directly at one of the folks taking pictures of him, and he looked pissed.

Ouch!

Travis Kelce Must Be Used To Paparazzi By Now, So Was This A Bit Too Much?

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are quite used to having cameras all around them, especially now that they are an item. But perhaps having their attempt to just enjoy a meal invaded by paparazzi was a bit much, hence the death stare from the three-time Super Bowl winner.

Meanwhile, the two are likely keen on spending as much time together as they possibly can given that they’ve both gotten a well-deserved break from their busy schedules.

The NFL season is over, while Taylor’s Eras Tour is on pause. Travis has done a bit of flying this offseason, going to Australia and Singapore to attend Taylor’s concerts but they’re back in the U.S. now that her tour has gone on break.
