Kansas City Chiefs fans felt the NFL rigged the outcome of their loss against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. The Packers’ win kept them in the thick of a Wild Card spot in the NFC.
The Chiefs played lousy on offense for most of the night. But they had a chance to tie the game on their final offensive possession. However, the Chiefs were victims of two missed pass interference calls that would have set up the Chiefs to score a touchdown. (They’d have needed to convert a two-point conversion to send the game to overtime.)
The first missed PI kept former Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling from catching the ball in the red zone.
What the HELL is pass interference in 2023?

The second missed PI was on the game’s final play, and Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce was kept from being able to make a game-saving touchdown reception.
It’s ok, hold Kelce’s arm down so he can’t extend it, this isn’t pass interference at all 🙄 pic.twitter.com/isOzDzGZI7

Kansas City Chiefs fans called the Packers game rigged
Even Packers fans admitted the officials missed the PI. However, they thought the officials didn’t call them in order to have a “make-up call” for a questionable unnecessary roughness penalty that was called on a Packers defender when he went high and hit the daylights out of Patrick Mahomes.
Chiefs fans felt the game was rigged to keep the Packers in playoff contention. Here are the best takes of Chiefs fans calling the Packers win rigged.
I made the mistake of betting against the NFL script tonight. Bummer. I guess the NFL wanted the Packers in the playoffs. #rigged #passinterference #referee #sportsbetting

Rigged. Sports betting and the storyline/ TV ratings focus has corrupted sports. This Packers win starts the Jordan Love/Packers Cinderella storyline to the playoffs.

NFL is literally the most rigged sport in the states. That’s why it’s only in the US. This chiefs and packers game just proved it. How are you not calling any of those PI???? Garbage sport.
