    Very weird sequence of events sure, but the ref was trying to blow the play dead before the Chiefs snapped the ball so I think it’s fair enough.

    Also worth noting, the Chiefs ended up punting from the exact place they would have had the original 3rd down stood. To the exact yard.

    I’m just going to throw out that Big Ben rushing TD in super bowl XL for consideration.

    I mean, the fact is if they were going to rig a game they would have just called a penalty on the original 3rd down

    They wouldn’t make it an entire/obvious production

    When people produce emails, text messages, or recorded conversations between officials whoever is “rigging” games, then I’ll maybe pay attention.

    Eh, refs just suck a lot. You see bad calls on both sides but it’s only “rigged” against whoever gets called last. I don’t think there’s a bigger conspiracy afoot.
