It was hard to watch. I call it 3rd and flag. The Texans played better but the refs very clearly favored the chiefs. It is getting more and more difficult to watch the NFL as it turns more and more into a soap opera rather than a sport.
That still wasn't as bad as the Bengals/Steelers playoff game years ago when the refs literally put Pitt basically in the end zone with 3 straight 15 yard penalties on Cincinnati. If I remember correctly, Joey Porter (Pitt LB coach) walked out on to the field and yelled at Bengals players and the refs ignored it until I maybe Burfict reacted and they flagged him. That was very clearly the NFL picking the winner.
