The NFL is rigged

Now, when you have money involved people (refs) can always be influenced.  There is a LOT of money involved in the NFL.  It may only take 1 call at the right time to change the outcome of a game.  We saw that with the Logan Wilson pass interference in the Super Bowl and also this past weekend.  Timing is everything.

Correct. Most NFL game outcomes can be swung in a desired outcome with a simple call or two at the right moment. IE, a phantom PI on Wilson in the Super Bowl allows the Rams 4 more downs. An intentional grounding call on Browning swings the game to KC's favor. A call like this doesn't guarantee an outcome, but it makes it more likely. The referees, like you said, are part time employees who could easily be swayed if they want to keep their jobs. And I'm quite sure they sign non-disclosure agreements when they get those jobs.
