NFL World Slams Officiating in Dallas<\/p>\n

The Cowboys and Chiefs game was marked by numerous penalties and calls that drew criticism from the NFL world. Whenever the Chiefs are playing, expect the referees to be under scrutiny. That is precisely what happened, but this time, fans called out the refs for consistently making calls in favor of the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky chimed in on the subject, calling out the refs for being one-sided.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe officiating has been very very one sided for Dallas so far,\u201d said Orlovsky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With questionable pass interference calls being called all game long, including a controversial one between Trent McDuffie<\/a> and CeeDee Lamb<\/a>, NFL analyst Albert Breer simply wanted the refs to let the guys play. It\u2019s a primetime game, and the refs are trying to make all the right calls; sometimes, it gets to be too much. Breer even called for the ref crew to be fired for the numerous calls.<\/p>\n

\u201cFire Marshal Bill\u2019s crew with these ticky-tack PI calls \u2026,\u201d said Breer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chase Daniel played backup QB in the NFL for years.\u00a0He couldn\u2019t stay silent either.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost like the officiating is trying to prove the national narrative wrong that the Chiefs get all the calls\u2026.in front of probably 50 Million people,\u201d said Daniel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The narrative has long been that the referees consistently favor the Chiefs. Today, it was not the case. The refs made big calls against the Chiefs all afternoon, and all of the penalties added up to cost them. Fans were shocked that it turned out this way, especially with the Chiefs\u2019 season on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201crefs are for the cowboys, no way,\u201d said one fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other fans were just disappointed in the product from the refs for such an important game. Both teams were playing to keep their playoff chances alive, and it was the day of Thanksgiving. Everyone was watching, but the refs still stole the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is THE most watched game ever(regular season) and the refs are flat out cheating. Idk how to even put it. Like I\u2019ve never seen THIS,\u201d said one fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs will have to run the table and win out to have a chance at making the playoffs. Not many people would have expected Kansas City to be in this situation, but here they are. They\u2019ll need some Mahomes magic in their last five games to get them into the postseason.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys don\u2019t have much more wiggle room, either, despite getting the big win. At 6-5-1, they are still 1.5 games behind the 49ers, and the Lions still sit above them on the outside looking in. Luckily for the Cowboys, they play Detroit next week and will have the chance to hop them with a win.<\/p>\n
