NFL fans are convinced that the Kansas City Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘Monday Night Football’ game was rigged following several suspicious and fishy moments.
Three specific moments led to the “rigged” accusations from fans in Monday night’s thriller between the Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs. For starters, fans questioned why Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles opted for an extra point inside the final minute instead of a game-winning two-point conversion attempt.
Secondly, fans noticed Baker Mayfield’s strange reaction to Kansas City winning the overtime coin toss:
Todd Bowles sticking to the script 🧑🦯

Incorrect coin toss call and an easy TD drive. Saw the script right when it went to OT. Would’ve been ok if we lost going for 2, but conservative Bowles playing scared ball per usual

Proud effort. But Bowles defence can’t get the crucial stop. Bs false start on Taylor play beofre. Playing the chiefs is fixed for them to win with refs.

Fire Bowles right now. Absolutely pathetic coward.
And the NFL must get this officiating bs fixed, Chiefs jumped early on that key okay, but the Bucs may as well have forfeited in regulation

Secondly, fans noticed Baker Mayfield’s strange reaction to Kansas City winning the overtime coin toss, allowing them to get the ball first and drive down the field for the game-sealing score:
Baker Mayfield’s reaction to losing the overtime coin flip to Mahomes. He knows it’s rigged 😂😂

They didn’t show the coin to baker when they were doing coin toss for overtime. Rigged asf. Also, have you guys notice that every overtime game this year, in the coin toss, it’s always heads? #NFL

Baker calls tails and the official flips the coin over, land heads. Am I overthinking this, or is it too blatantly obvious to be anything??? @Buccaneers @NFL @NFLOfficiating @ESPNNFL pic.twitter.com/GfLLz22iJp

Hence, all the calls that the game was “rigged” in favor of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs:
Can’t tell me the NFL isn’t rigged for the Chiefs. Missed calls every game in their favor.

Funny how the refs never call false start on the Chiefs. NFL is rigged

The Bucs kept the game closer than expected, but Patrick Mahomes had another field day for the Chiefs with 291 yards passing and three touchdowns. Hunt (106 rushing yards, one touchdown), Travis Kelce (14 catches for 100 yards) and DeAndre Hopkins (eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns) also proved too much for Tampa Bay
Kansas City Chiefs Move To 8-0 Following Nailbiting Victory
The Chiefs’ 30-24 win over Mayfield and company moved them to 8-0 on the season. The NFL’s last remaining undefeated team just keeps on finding new ways to win, and it’s clear they remain the team to beat with the postseason slowly approaching.
