Fax. If anything the rule should be (if it wasn’t already) that 3rd down counted as an untimed down. With No real harm done, just a few extra secs of game. 👎
Goodell: We can have Joe Burrow and a historically sorry ass franchise like the Bengals vs. the Eagles in the Super Bowl OR we can have Andy Reid vs. his old team. The best QB in the league vs. the most dominant defense. THINK OF ALL THE POSSIBLE HEADLINES!!!
I have. When Bottlegate happened back in 2001 (when the refs broke the rules to go back two plays to review a catch and it cost the Browns the game). And we know how that ended lol.
@Argyle Dante Donovan what calls or just the blanket statement ...... Bad calls don't mean anything but bad calls..... I guess the calls were good enough to get Cincinnati to the AFC championship .... The only bad call it's the call Cincinnati made calling Arrowhead burrohead . .
I was angry for him and I’m a Browns fan. Refs should be absolutely locked in during the playoffs and they couldn’t even get a play clock right MULTIPLE times
@@TheyCallMeRabbit98 They were adjusting the Game clock. The Play clock resumed as it should after the ball was adjusted. However the result of the previous play was an incomplete pass, meaning the game clock should have stopped. The head ref stated after the ball was adjusted, "The game and play clock will start on my whistle" in which the game clock started again. That should not have happened. The refs did not notice the game clock has started until after the play began, causing the controversy. The play should not have been allowed to happen, and the game clock should not have ever started again. A mistake that SHOULD NOT have happened by a head ref in the NFL playoffs. Absolutely unacceptable mistake. He should be fired for that.
Love how Gene tries to cover "for the noise factor" when a team is at home on offense, they crowd isn't being loud and Mahomes is 4 steps into his drop before that ref runs out.
You know what? Your absolutely 100 right!!! Maholmes was already into his drop ball was already snapped!!!! Unreal how they done bengals. I mean look at ladt play, and it went on all night, Orlando brown bear hugged Hendrickson, plus if you look in middle center is holding dj reader!!!! Gotta throw flag on side line on #58, also a Emmy flop, by maholmes, cheifs o line held every pass play all night. Just unreal how one sided this game was called. Go back look at spots on 2 punts by kc. 1 ladt time bengals got ball which resulted in fg, right before halftime. And 1 where kc punts to bengals with 2:30 left in game. Look where ball rolls out on 1st one, and where it is spotted. Last one goes outta bounds in air.?????????
This comment alone proves there was no rigging going on. The ref ran out to stop the play before anyone knew KC wasn't going to convert. This is just typical Internet chatter and people reading into things.
I am a Steelers fan and I can’t believe what I saw. I’m at a breaking point with this league between the officiating, roughing the passer penalty, and overall incompetence.
Yall do realize why it was a redo, right? The ref fucked up. He said game clock and play clock to run on his whistle. The play prior was an incomplete pass. The game clock shouldn't have started running only the play clock.
@Dyll816 also not a chiefs fan and I don't agree with him. The refs let the play run as usual and even let the punt team get set up, then say "oops sorry you get a redo" no thats not how it works
The crazy part about this is that the refs messed up with the play clock on a dropped pass and then messed up again by not fixing it correctly the first time and only fixed it after a play had already happened. It's like a triple whammy into why the NFL officiating sucks and needs to change. Also remember last years game between these two when a play stood, as it correctly should have, even after the whistle was "blown"? Weird how they actually get it "correct" here isn't it. Correction, it wasn't the game between these two that had the call last year, it was the Bengals vs Raiders game.
you're missing the point, they intentionally set this up as a back up plan in case the Chiefs didn't get first down there. if they made the play the ref would not have made them re do the down. this was most blatant rigging of a sports game ever. also the refs didn't mess up and reffing won't be changed. this was not their decision, they are obviously taking orders from someone above and did a good job of swinging the game in KC favor.
@@mrcool76789 that made literally no sense they tried to call the play off before it even started lmfao and even taking this play away we got screwed over from calls more then the Bengals did in this game and the Bengals where getting help from the refs clearly in the last 3 times they beat us 🤡
@@chrisdogg1403 the refs were bad, and have been bad all season, but they really screwed over Cincy in this game.

The momentum was with the chiefs the second that they got 5 downs and it stayed with them until the end of the game.

Also that Bengals play who hit Mecole and Jesse bates never got penalized. I have no sympathy for the Bengals after the trash they talked.
Give me a bad call in this game. If anyone says this play was a bad call they are wrong. It was unfortunate but they started the clock when they shouldn’t have and tried to stop the play but Arrowhead was just too loud.
@@FPSGamingGinger if anything that hurt KC though. Bengals were punting because they stalled not because of time. All the chiefs did was give themselves less time to get into fg range
1:04 is the exact moment that needs to be discussed more here. He clearly states that both game clock and play clock would start on his whistle. The ref made a mistake with what needed to happen, which is what caused this fiasco to begin with. Edit: One - I'm saying all of this as a Chiefs fan. Two - I will re-word how I said this. I know the play before was an incomplete pass. How I see this is that the ref said both play clock and game clock start on his signal and the operator did as the ref had stated. When this happened live, I was confused as to why it was replayed as he had stated both should start, then said only the play clock should have started. This entire situation should not have happened to begin with if the ref had not messed up. That one instance has cause a commotion that will not die down for a long, long time (if it ever does).
yep. it was an incomplete pass, game clock was stopped, they reset the play clock to 10 after re-spotting the ball, then he mistakenly said to start the game clock and play clock. and that line judge down the field noticed it as they were about to snap the ball.. you can BARELY hear his whistle tweeting, but he definitely was trying to stop the play pre-snap.
It started before with the "incorrect" ball spot, but if you look at it , it seems off by 6 inches, basically the same length the center moves the ball before a snap anyway. Insane sequence of events
Correct, and everyone's pissed because it seemed to hurt the Bengals, but they still would have done the exact same thing if the Chiefs had converted. It would have been called back. Just imagine the shitshow if KC had gotten a first down or even a TD and had it nullified over this! The ref had no idea who he was screwing over when he fucked up, because he had no way of knowing what was going to happen on the next play. It's an epic mistake that he'll never live down, but fans calling it an example of match fixing or being "rigged" are just completely detached from reality. Gene Steratore literally explained what happened and why on the broadcast. It didn't even end up affecting the outcome of the game, anyway.
Watching the replay of this makes sense, I didn't pay attention to the game clock during the game, the incomplete pass stops the clock, yes he made a mistake saying start both. Let the haters hate.

Can not wait to hear skip and Shannon go over this tomorrow. Although I wanted the chiefs to win, Id rather it be without blown calls by the refs. This year was absolutely horrible when it came to reffing. Someone needs to be held accountable for this
Chiefs fan here, I agree, the officiating in general in the league has been absolutely terrible this year, worst I've seen it. This game was no exception, it did have impacts on the final score ultimately and it sucks.
The most insane part is you can clearly hear the whistles on the play before at the end of the play and you can watch the ref in the back with his whistle in his mouth ready to blow it if it's a delay of game but he is not waving his arm or anything. There really should have been an investigation into that ref with all signs pointing toward corruption.
First they say “reset the game clock to 10 minutes 24 seconds” at 2:14 then at 2:23 he says “game clock will start on the snap, 10 minutes 29 seconds”. these refs have no fucking clue what they’re doing
I’m not even a fan of either team. But this is the first time I’m actually siding with the nut-jobs that think the NFL is rigged haha. Those last 30s or so of that game was CLEAR intention to give KC almost every opportunity to FINISH that game with a W, hell, they even helped them run down that clock. And I’m not even going to get into all the horrible calls in the other 3 Quarters. If I was a Bengals fan I’d definitely be upset too. Something needs to change in this league, very quickly. I’d start with getting rid of Goodell, but even then, I doubt that would stop all of the absurdities. Look at this from a economic standpoint. What’s the bigger draw for the NFL, KC vs Philly or CIN vs Philly. There’s only one right answer. Hell, one of the NFLs biggest podcasts is the Kelces brothers going back and forth promoting the league more than anyone else has for decades. They know this, because regular television is in the tank, and what better way to have 2 of your players (already under contract by the NFL=no added cost for them) providing free advertising and breaking into an avenue (the internet) which they’ve always had a problem getting into. And the sole reason they always had a problem with gaining traction on the internet is because the league has been run by geriatric old men for decades in decades. They literally have no proper connection to young people and what they want. It really is starting to add up to the WWE 2.0 with these antics. 2 weak calls in a row that all led to an easy breezy FG with just a few seconds left on the clock.
@@michaelg7904 Nah mate, there’s a huge different between what I’m talking about, and then ‘nut jobs’. I’m not saying there’s an actual script, like the nut jobs think there is lol.

@@Samisgood478 it’s common practice for coaches to script each game. In fact they actually call it scripting - it’s how they have game planned since the beginning of the league. Each script accounts for variables based on probability because each play has a limited number of predictable outcomes. It’s not rocket science although these coaches and players have turned it into an art form. @Andrew Evans - there is too much at stake for them not to script… I think they also use gematria.
That’s crazy, the refs blew the whistle to at the conclusion of the 3rd down , spotted the ball, let both teams change personnel. For the punt,they not even hiding it
Didn't even think about that.....that makes the bs so much more obvious ......your comments are advanced level course shit to the average casual fan watching this
This might be the most disappointing Conference Championship Sunday in recent memory. Niners game tainted by injuries, KC sent to the Super Bowl by controversial officiating.
Didn't the Niners game have worse officiating? And the Chiefs had no WRs, Kelce had a bad back and Mahomes with a bum ankle. They were very injured as well
The amount if do-overs Mahomes is granted is insane. I remember during one game against the Chargers I think early in this season he got 3 extra tries in the red zone due to bs penalties. Its like the refs had the flag already in their hand ready to throw it in case Mahomes failed to get the touchdown.
As a chiefs fan this was disgusting. This is why the integrity of the game comes into question. Getting plays right everytime isn't the problem, these guys refuse to admit their mistakes and correct them in live time. Everyone would respect these situations more if they just flat out said " we were wrong and we're changing it"
or if they just said, "We want the Chiefs to win, so we'll rig the game", rather than these dipshit announcers trying to justify the scam. How many times after an incorrect penalty have I heard, "That's an easy call" when my eyes told me the opposite.

Worst officiated week and recent history, why can’t we just have a game with no refball and it’s always these two groups of refs as well. The refs in this game were the ones that tracked down Joey Bosa to call a penalty on him.
Niners game was officiated well, the fuck are y’all even on about. Only iffy call was the roughing penalty, but even then it’s a judgement call on whether you think the niners guy was already going to hit the kicker’s leg.
Lol they got outplayed in every single way measurable. If Jaylen Watson wasn't the worst player to ever touch a football field, it would've been a blowout
@justakidinthenati3852 I don't know where you get your info from, but you're wrong. I do know for a fact that KC has 2 recent superbowl wins and the Bengals sitting at zero
This was over 10 seconds on the clock due to the ref's own mistake. There's no do-over! Is this the playground? Just put 10 seconds back on the clock after the full play that the refs also made a mistake by not stopping properly.
they didn't make a mistake, they are taking orders from someone above to rig the game. they did their job perfectly. if you don't think sports are rigged at this point you are just in denial
The refs aren’t the ones who start and stop the clock. In an average game the timekeeper will have to be instructed how to adjust for miscommunications. If this really triggers you then avoid watching soccer at all costs
Bengals would of had to beat KC and the refs today! The NFL was obviously not going to let that happen. They have made Mahomes a super hero character and want there glory boy in the Super Bowl! So sad what the NFL has become!!
Lions Calvin no catch Texans Thanksgiving where they couldn't challenge a TD that was clearly down down 10 sec run off against Atlanta to end the game after a review changed a golden tate touchdown to down at the half cm Every Stafford era Greenbay game Lions have been losing to the refs for decades
Did the ref in the Lions game actually try to stop play or was he like this guy - just waived his hands a little bit, didn't blow his whistle, and just kinda waited for the outcome of the play?
I was glad there was a rules analyst at the ready to explain this. It didn’t make sense watching it live until we got the explanation. Then it made sense. Yes, the ref made a mistake. Nobody’s perfect.
I'm a Panthers fan and I gotta say this was a terrible tragedy. I don't believe games are rigged yet but surely this call was completely unnatural and felt dirty.
How are you incapable of grasping that it was BLOWN DEAD before the play was ran? They showed the ref running in, waving his arms, and blowing his whistle on the replay. It was loud, nobody heard it. He got out of the way and let the play run so he wouldn't get creamed. Doesn't change the fact that it is a dead play, TD, pick 6, sack, etc... Doesn't matter. They fixed the clock and ran it again. So again. Which part of that are you having a hard time with?

So at :40, the Chiefs get an opportunity to see how the defense is lined up, and suddenly, the ball needs to be "adjusted." After failing, and no ref comes in to stop the play, which happens every time there is a false start, just a hair before the snap, they allow all changes to be made and THEN say naw, they need to do all that over. Yeah, Chiefs were "destined" to win.
Yeah chief wouldn't have wanted to run their play. Everyone wants to be stopped with 10 sec on the play clock and go at my say. Yeah everyone loves that. And they punted that drive. Try harder sad boy
Not a fan of either team. Had no dog in the race but yeah this game was fishy as hell. Chiefs fans are blinded by the fact they won but the reality is we need to take a hard look at reffing and get full time refs. Amazes me they don't already exist
The game clock was running before the ball was snapped when it wasn't supposed to. The play was "shut down" so the clock could be reset. The ref who called the play dead ran onto the field after seeing the running clock and blew his whistle but nobody heard it and the play resumed. Not the refs fault that the tech guys in the booth fucked up.

@@xrhin0x895 well that is just assanine because the game clock that they show on the tv was NOT running before the ball was snapped.

If so, then tough luck, they could have just figured out what the correct time would now be on the game clock. That was hands down the stupidest thing I have ever seen watching NFL officiating and I have been watching alot of NFL for almost half a century. It's bullshit in my opinion and it really looked like they wanted KC to keep the ball and they just cemented my opinion on that when on the very next play they call a BS holding call on eli apple when he was hardly touching the guy, the ref in the booth even said that was a very tacky call and he would not have called it. KC are the NFL darlings these days and that creates an unfair playing field for whoever their opponent is. Also, back in the day, the refs used to announce that the crowds needed to not be so loud or the home team would be penalized. Nowadays Kansas City and Seattle are encouraged to be loud. WTF
@@rf5390 You are correct. The game time on TV was NOT running but the actual game time on the field WAS running. The two are not the same thing and they are not controlled by the same people. What you see on TV is from whatever broadcaster you watch and they are simply relaying the information received from the people actually running the game. The REAL game clock on the field was running - not shown on TV - which is why the play was blown dead and then replayed after they fixed the time. You can cry about someone being fired for it, which may or not happen, but people make mistakes. The Apple holding call could have gone either way imo. It didn't look so bad to me at first but then I saw him with almost a handful of Chief's jersey. "KC are the NFL darlings these days and that creates an unfair playing field for whoever their opponent is". Right, because Cincy didn't just beat KC last year during the same game. But somehow Chiefs are favored more? "I have been watching alot of NFL for almost half a century." Typical Boomer to complain about loud fans in a packed stadium during a playoff game.
@@xrhin0x895 None of the Chiefs coaches heard the whistle nor seen the refs wave their arms to shut down the play. They sent the punt team out. Bengals coaches sent their special teams players out. Funny how the armchair ref's seen and heard, but the Coaches of BOTH teams moved to 4th down.... There would have been no PI, if the ref's didn't give them an extra 3rd down on a play that was clearly played and incomplete moving the Chiefs to 4th down...
I just watched this to see where the confusion was at. I still don't get how people didn't understand what took place here. It took them awhile to get the explanation out is the biggest problem. The ref screwed up with the clock adjustment and told the operator to wind the clock on his signal. That was incorrect as the previous play was an incomplete pass and so the clock shouldn't have started until the snap. The official that watches the clock ran in to shut the play down because the clock was running early but the snap took place. So the play ran even though it was a dead play and then got brought back. This happens quite frequently that plays get shut down but the snap still occurs. I believe you see it most frequently with false starts.
Romo blaming crowd noise while the home team is on offense. The fact that they waited until well after the play had been run, and the Chiefs punt team was on the field, ready to go, is ridiculous. Maybe the original 3rd down play SHOULD HAVE been shut down, but the play certainly wasn't shut down. At best this was sheer incompetence by the officials.
The head ref made the initial error. He originally said for the play & game clock to start at his whistle. Then said he only wanted the play clock to begin after the play had ended. lol

You realize in the Chiefs Patriots the Patriots were called for MORE penelties than the Chiefs right? Like 2 or 3 more with more yardage going in the Chiefs favor. Gronk got mauled and interfered with all game. Brady was getting blinded by a "fan" with a laser pointer all game. The Chiefs scored on a illegal play. The Chiefs got the ball back with 3min to go on the Chiefs 30 yard line after Kelce fumbled and the Patriots getting the ball but a ref gave it back to the Chiefs on a VERY questionable defensive holding penalty. Yeah the refs are biased but in this case I guarantee they were trying to get the Chiefs to the Superbowl. The famous offsides should have never happened because of the Kelce fumble and Dee Ford was like a full yard offsides so how do you NOT call that? It would have been BLANTANT had he not called that and the refs would have REALLY been called out. Edit: if you re watch the game even Romo called this stuff out. The refs can't help the fact that Brady was super clutch all night on 3rd down and the Chiefs defense had like (9) 3rd downs to stop him in the 4th quarter and OT but couldn't.

Glad I rewatched this as I didn't realise live that the ref with the mic made a mistake asking for BOTH the play clock AND the game clock to restart on his signal after the incomplete pass which is what started all of this. As a KC fan, the common sense solution to this situation in my opinion is to let the 4th down stand and reset the game clock to what it would have been at the end of the play had the clock started when KC snapped the ball.
@BrutusJrThe3rd Which Ref? The first 3rd and 9 play? Can you give me a direction the ref was running from (eg left of screen). I've rewatched the play about 10 times and can't see any ref movement from any of them.
Well after this game I'm definitely not watching the Superbowl. It was clear that the ownership and NFL administration said "Make sure KC goes to the Superbowl" They must be looking at the numbers and realizing that it will make them a higher Gross Profit. Done with the NFL. This season showed that it's nothing more than the WWE.
@Cheese On it yea if the same thing happened to your team you would be as pissed as these Bengals fans. Blatant call after Blatant call and "5th down", KC would have torn the city apart.
If ppl who actually watched the game remember, this drive that was extended by the refs didnt result in any points. Bengals had the ball at the end with a chance to go down the field and win. They failed.
1:20 You can see the ref just standing there watching the play unfold. If the play was dead, why didn't he run in to stop the play? Did he want to see if the Chiefs got the first down before he gave them another play?
if the Chiefs scored first down there they wouldn't have reset the play, it was a backup plan, simple as that. people are not seeing it this clearly because they don't want to admit something was that rigged right before their eyes
I think that it was another official who blew it dead, it seemed to be a total communication breakdown. Embarrasing. I was sickened watching this live, and I'm not a fan of either team.
@@holyjewel Chiefs fans trying to explain what happened to defend their team has been the funniest thing I've seen all day. Why do they even feel the need to defend it?
That ref whistled and waved. If it wasn’t so loud at Arrowhead on that 3rd down the play would have been shut down as ordered. Didn’t help that the players and other refs were set up miles from the whistle blower. There are other videos when you can hear the whistle clearly but of course the conspiracy theorists are saying the sound was added in post production. Lol
The home offense had the ball. Every screen had "QUIET, OFFENSE AT WORK" so they can hear the snap count. If the away team has the ball, screens say "GET LOUD" or "MAKE SOME NOISE". That's league wide.
It’s insane. The amount of uncalled holds from the Chiefs OL was absolutely astonishing. There’s no way anyone can ever convince me that the officiating was ever ment to be ‘fair’ that game.
just like bengals was holding jones almost every play and the refs never threw a flag. or what about the helmet to helmet on hardman that wasn't called ?
The other play that got me was when the Chief player extended the football for the 1st down while he was stopped and brought it back into his body before his knee hit the ground. If a player makes the first down and voluntarily retreats giving up the 1st down where he is tackled, they mark the ball where he is tackled. Then to compound the issue, they didn't even measure for the 1st down. They just gave it to them.
the reason football is my third sport of choice is because officiating is capable of shifting momentum on a whim by rewarding a team more plays or screwing another team over by undoing plays

@@clarencecompton9821 I'm a Raiders fan, so I naturally don't like the Chiefs, but that's just how the NFL officiating works, and I think most fans would agree with me. Maybe not about this play, but officiating in general. Officiating serves its purpose and makes sure the players follow the rules, but more often than not, the NFL coddles its superstars, like Mahomes, among others. Especially in important games, the officials can pretty much control the outcome with one or two penalties that probably shouldn't be called, but can't be denied, or not calling a blatant foul. For example, you could call offensive holding on just about every play. I wouldn't if I was an official because that essentially defeats the purpose of the O-line, but theoretically they could. When the Raiders choked against the Rams, that wasn't entirely their fault. On the Rams game-winning drive, Maxx Crosby got held horrendously 3 times, and one of those was in the Rams endzone, so it should have been a safety and the game would've been over. But none of them got called, giving the Rams the opportunity to win that they never should've had in the first place. I'm not someone that gets fuming mad when officials make a bad call, but I am internally extremely annoyed with the officiating in all the games, not just the Raiders or their rivals. Something needs to change.
We are supposed to believe that crowd noise prevented the referees from communicating while the home team was on offense? And the whole play happened and they decided a redo was the best course of action? That is absolutely stupid.
NFL marketing wanted the Eagles and Chiefs to be in the Superbowl. All the Andy Reid VS his former team stories, Kelce brothers. No other matchup of the 4 final teams would be the biggest talk the next 2 weeks. If you don't believe they would try to ref a game for a favorable outcome to a game that will be shown to 2 billion people worldwide, you trippin hard....
@Coolyioy not at all, I had no dog in this race. I'm a Panthers fan that's getting sick of the NFL all together because of BS like refs that allow teams to line up only to stop them, when the offense has had chance to see the defensive alignment, only to move the ball a few inches. Then they take forever to "correctly" start a down that has already been played out to the point where not only were all the players ready, but 6/7 refs were too.
After this game I’m willing to engage in the “NFL is rigged” conversation. In the very least the refs are being encouraged to call the games in a specific way. And with the legalization of gambling there needs to be independent investigations into the NFL.
Can you name 3 incorrect calls? The refs took 2 tds and an int from kc... but they were correct calls. All flags on cincy were legit penalties. This flub didnt even matter.
@@whitewhale9012 coping with the fact that your fav sport is just fantasy lol. i barely watch football and could easily tell something was up all game.
So obvious they had a plan in place to impact the game. The intial stoppage of play was to reset the ball, but it took them 31 seconds into the play clock to figure that out.
If it was a clock issue usually they just add time after the play. Why would you grant a do over to fix the clock. "The play was shutdown. Noise was a a factor" Weird how every other play you could hear the whistle just fine. And it wasn't even that loud at the moment
It’s not “weird” that YOU didn’t hear it because you are relying on microphones from a tv broadcast that cut out often. And nobody on the field heard it because Arrowhead is famously loud and nobody was within 25 yards of that ref. One whistle versus 70,000 fans screaming on a third down play
Bogus Calls Against Bengals as Documented by a Non-Bengals Fan: 1) Do-over 3rd down play that cost the Bengals field position and 1 timeout in 2nd half since the Chiefs converted another 1st down with Eli Apple's defensive holding 2) Bogus intentional grounding where Perine was in the area 3) Multiple missed roughing the passer calls on Burrow based on how it has been called this year (one where Chris Jones landed with full weight on top of Burrow and another where a Chief clearly pushed Burrow down WELL after the play) 4) Missed block in the back on final Chiefs punt return that set up game winning field goal 5) Missed offensive holdings on Mahomes' last run as he miraculously stopped pretending to limp with his fake injury 6) Ridiculous late hit call with Mahomes flop out of bounds that was a dumb play by Ossai but also mostly influenced by Mahomes' absurd flop from a light tap by Ossai 7) Phantom DPI call on second to last drive by Chiefs that even Mike Pereira said was bogus
The do over was the right call. The clock was running when it shouldn’t have and you can the official trying to stop the play before it started. Plus it had zero game impact.
