This is the second straight week that fans have accused the league of being unfair to opponents of the Chiefs.
NFL fans called out the league for appearing to miss an officiating decision that went the way of the Kansas City Chiefs during their Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Chiefs’ 29-10 Week 17 win came in Pittsburgh at Acriscure Stadium on Wednesday.

During the third quarter, Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was credited with a catch.
However, the Netflix replay showed the 27-year-old not securing the ball which had hit the ground.
Fortunately for the Chiefs, the team got the next play off quickly and the Steelers didn’t challenge the play.
NFL fans were irate over the fact that Andy Reid’s Kansas City squad got the benefit of the call and that the league didn’t utilize replay assist to overturn it.
“Absolutely horrible. This is rigged,” one commented.
“News flash. We are done watching the Chiefs win. Rigged,” another wrote.
“Replay assist should catch that every time. They chose not to,” a third added.
The two-time defending Super Bowl champions also seemingly got the benefit of two other controversial moments.

During the first quarter, the Steelers had a touchdown called back due to a holding call, which fans believed to be debatable.
In the next play, Russell Wilson threw an interception.

And a quarter later, the refs whistled a play dead for forward progress after a George Pickens reception.
The catch went for a short gain as the wide receiver was pushed back, but he was still moving his feet and appeared to be on his way for a huge gain.
Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, the play wasn’t continued.
The Chiefs did receive nine penalties for 90 yards compared to the Steelers’ four penalties for 25 yards.
NFL fans also weren’t pleased with the Chiefs being called for only two penalties and 20 penalty yards, compared to six penalties and 45 penalty yards going against the Houston Texans in Kansas City’s Week 16 win.
NFL fans have voiced their criticisms over the league’s officiating in other Chiefs games, including a pass interference call that went the team’s way over the Cincinnati Bengals in September.
Travis Kelce and the Chiefs are 15-1 after the Week 17 win and secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC as a result.
They will have a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage in the following two rounds.
The Chiefs will take on the home team Denver Broncos in the regular-season finale game on January 5.
