The refs suddenly step in and steal them on really tricky tack calls. This one, the uncalled illegal block in the AFCCG, the phantom PI on Wilson in the Super Bowl. And making the claim of "it shouldn't have come down to that" does NOT justify the refs - they are supposed to be 100% neutral in their calls and instead it seems like every key game this team plays they suddenly insert themselves and ALWAYS to our detriment. Now our season is on life support. So far the Burrow era is not really paying off in the only way that matters - titles. 

I didn't see much if any contact and he's screaming "he got there early!!" 

Is that against the rules now? Getting there early isn't a rule, getting there early and draping yourself all over the receiver, pulling on a face mask (no call for Chase), etc and so on, are against the rules.

The def had help. Ravens fans said the same thing last week. Would be a great story for a real journalist to dig into. I don't think it's to push KC forward, I honestly think it is $$$$$. 

Follow the money!
