Kansas City Chiefs are the new New England Patriots.
If you want to beat them, you have to do it so convincingly that no single penalty (or, to be more accurate, no two to three penalties at any point in the game, but especially late in the game) could take that win away.
If the Bengals wanted to win that game, Joe Burrow needed to keep the drive moving despite Iosivas' drop. He can't take a sack on third down, even if he was blitzed. He can't fumble the ball.
You need to play perfect ball to win.
I know it seems unfair. That's because it is.
Get used to it. The refs are actively invested in the Chiefs winning. So you can't leave it up to them.
That's all there is to it.
