No one is saying every game is influenced by refs. Almost no one is saying the league is scripted. The prevailing sentiment is this:
The league has (sometimes) preferred outcomes with the teams at the top. In this instance, the Chiefs. If the game is close enough, and there is opportunity to throw a flag that can produce the desired outcome, the league may instruct refs to do so.
Not every game, not every time. Also, not always the same team.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
