NFL fans are convinced that the refs “rigged” the Kansas City Chiefs-Las Vegas Raiders game following a brutal game-changing call by the officials that helped Patrick Mahomes and company.
There has been no shortage of questionable calls by the refs that benefited Patrick Mahomes and company. This included the controversial pass interference against Daijahn Anthony of the Cincinnati Bengals, which wiped out a game-sealing fourth-down stop in Week 2. The Chiefs got a fresh set of downs, and Harrison Butker made good on the opportunity by kicking the game-winning field goal.
Once again, KC was on the right side of a head-scratching call against Vegas today.4
With Kansas City up by four points in the final frame, Patrick Mahomes drew a “roughing the passer” penalty by K’Lavon Chaisson. Have a look at the replay, however, and it’s hard to comprehend why a flag was thrown here:
As you would guess, the call against Chaisson led to accusations that the refs “rigged” the game for the defending Super Bowl champions:
The Chiefs defeated the Raiders 27-20 to improve their perfect record to 7-0, while the slumping Raiders fell to 2-6. The two teams will meet again at Arrowhead Stadium in the Black Friday game.
With Sunday’s victory in Sin City, Mahomes is now a ridiculous 11-2 in his career against Las Vegas. And the two times he lost? In 2020 and 2023, but the Chiefs reached the Super Bowl both years anyway.

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 to advance to 7-0. However, Chiefs guard Joe Thuney didn’t leave the game without this embarrassing incident.
During the fourth quarter, cameras panned to Thoney, who had the biggest rip in his pants.

It made for a hilarious moment you don’t see often. Of course, though, considering Thuney is one of the best at his position in the entire league, his ego is probably doing just fine.
He can take even more pride knowing that the rip probably happened from protecting quarterback Patrick Mahomes or trying to create a hole in the running game.
Joe Thuney Is A Free Agent In Two Years
In two years, it’s possible that Thuney could become a free agent. It would mark the end of the massive five-year $80 million deal he signed to join Kansas City in 2021.

The guard is 31 years old, and an offensive lineman’s prime can last much longer than most other positions.
If he keeps playing at this level, he may be able to negotiate his way into another very high-paying contract.
