NFL fans are claiming the league is rigging a Kansas City Chiefs win over the Miami Dolphins Saturday night due to a controversial decision to play the game in frosty conditions. The league has had to make a few unpopular calls with the weather this week.
The league postponed the Buffalo Bills matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers to Monday afternoon due to a travel ban in New York. The league worked with Gov. Kathy Hochul to move the game from Sunday afternoon to Monday.
The league decided earlier in the week to keep the Chiefs matchup with the Dolphins on schedule despite the National Weather Service calling for “dangerously cold” conditions on Saturday night. For whatever reason, the league wouldn’t reschedule the Chiefs game to a time when the sun would be out.
Could Peacock be the reason?
NFL fans call the Chiefs game rigged
Fans were upset with the league’s decision to play the game in dangerous conditions. Many fans think the league wants the Chiefs to have an advantage over the Dolphins, who play better in warm conditions. (Not that the NFL is rigging the weather.
Here are the best takes of fans calling the game rigged.
Making people play in -30 is torture. Should be moved to a mutual spot.
But since you guys made deals with Draft Kings and other sports gambling outlets this will be rigged like the rest of the season.— OK (@OKDavidN) January 13, 2024
