Patrick Mahomes is one of the best players in the National Football League, and of course, the Kansas City Chiefs are a considerable benefactor of the quarterback’s success. However, the Chiefs’ success doesn’t come without its fair share of criticism. The main critism; the NFL is rigged.

Many fans claim that the NFL decides to rig tons of games in the Chiefs’ favor and then proceeds to back it up with stats. This does seem a little interesting if you consider that the Chiefs have been the least penalized team in the playoffs over the last four seasons.

One person very close to the NFL referees favors these rumors. According to former head of officiating Dean Blandino, his brother believes he signed an NDA. And yes, he thinks the Chiefs have the advantage most Sundays.

Is The NFL Rigged?

“My brother who is convinced that the league is rigged, that is convinced that I signed an NDA . . . when I left the league office that I cannot tell anybody that it’s rigged,” Blandino said in an interview with SeriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio.

He added, “We grew up in the same household, by the way. I said, ‘Listen, there’s no conspiracy. The officials — there’s too many variables, there’s too much going on. To me, it’s the hardest sport. When you think about football, with seven different officials, to say, ‘OK, I’m gonna rig this game’ or ‘the game is rigged from the league office down.’ The officials are just trying to get it right.”

Blandino didn’t detail how his brother responded to what he said, so it can only be assumed that he continues to believe that the NFL is rigged. Most of the time, it does happen to be for the Chiefs.
