Other thing here, they dropped 8 into coverage and were doubling Hill and Kelce on some big downs forcing Mahomes to hold the ball. They couldn’t do that int he 1st half because they had too many 3rd and shorts but second half the longer 3rd downs made a huge difference.
Funny enough, people laughed at me before the first game when I literally said “cheat, hold as much as you can get away with”.
Kobe always talked about knowing the refs. The chiefs definitely knew, they held Chase all game. Bengals are good, and when they learn those intricacies...
That ref crew was famous for the lowest holds called all year and I think the head dude had zero roughing the passer penalties all year.
Refs want to be a part of the game, use them to your advantage.
