The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are playing in their first game of the season, which has already looked like an AFC championship preview. Baltimore is trailing Kansas City 13-10 at the half, and fans are saying that the refs are the big reason. Ravens fans are calling the NFL ‘rigged after just one half after several controversial penalties were called on them in the first half.
Baltimore Ravens Fans Call NFL ‘Rigged’
The referees called several illegal formation penalties on Baltimore on the offensive line, and Ravens fans are saying that Kansas City is doing the same thing just as much, but they are not being penalized. Here are some of the reactions from fans about the controversial penalties:
Game is rigged. Every flag is a on the ravens! I’ve seen enough

Are The Refs Being Fair?
Many fans are claiming that the Chiefs are having the same alignment on their offensive line, however, they are not getting any penalties called for it. It is no secret that many NFL fans already claim that the referees favor Kansas City, and it looks like this year will have the same outcome.
Who do you have winning this matchup, and do you think the referees are making the correct calls on the field?
