@@alphacanine1014 Jessie Bates faking an injury in our previous match up this year, Bengals player hitting Mecole Hardman early on a punt return last year in the conference championship, and last year in week 17 when the refs waited until the final 2 minutes before they started throwing flags on the Chiefs. 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.
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 . .
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. Even if the drive didn't amount to points scored it wasted much needed time and affected Cincy in many ways. Bad calls don't need to lead to points scored to have an effect on the end of the 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.
@@chrisdogg1403 I'm saying they did that as a backup plan, if KC got first down they would have not pointed out that they tried to call it off , or just changed the clock after the play was settled.
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.

bengals fan here watching this 2 years later. i have no doubt in my mind that if the chiefs converted that do over 3rd down, the referee that ran onto the field would've never been a know thing to begin with. they wouldve let it go and just gave them the conversion. absolute clownshow nfl
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.
@@lootingiv4058 if he was trying to stop it, someone needs to show him how to do so... never have i seen an official reset like he did while trying to stop it... every other time they run, arms waving, and continuously blowing their whistle, to the ball and stop the play from happening... this guy did not even blow the whistle... if he did, you would hear it... the home team had the ball, the fans were not that loud... you can clearly hear prior to that when a whistle is blown and after that when the whistle is blown... but never a whistle at that time because he didn't blow the whistle... that's not how you blow the play dead... incompetence on the officiating team is the problem... they need to be covering peewee league until they learn how to do their job correctly...

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.

@@FauxExpert241 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
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.
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
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.
@@DuggsMetalMovieJukebox They were in the Super Bowl last season, and were so close to being it in again this season. They'll be annual contenders from here on out with Joe Burrow. The days of the "Bungles" are over.
I rewatched everything the ref said, I did not see a single ref stop the play from continuing all though in the end the ref claimed they had “shutdown” the play before the play happened. What a disgrace.
The first 20 seconds after the 3rd and 9, these events happened. -zero referees blowing play dead -Mahomes jogs off with no indication -Reid pats him on back as if to say “it’s 4th down but nice try Pat” -entire field goal unit has no clue, thinks it’s 4th and 4 -entire offense has no clue, thinks it’s 4th and 4 -Pat Mahomes is asking referee “is it 3rd down?” -Zac Taylor has no clue and has a front row seat for finding out why the play is stopped, still does not know why and it’s January 2025! -Gene Steratore has no clue why it’s not 4th and 4 -the entire world has no clue why it’s not 4th and 4 -an announcement is made that is identical to “we have no fucking idea why it’s about to be 3rd and 9 again, but lemme spin something up off the top of my head for the world to debate for eternity” -no replay assistance/buzzing in to New York, etc. happened to correct the easiest issue that has ever happened in a football game. Which is, there is no issue, play ball, 4th and 4!!!!!!!!

I was one of the first people that noticed chiefs games being rigged. I’ve been calling them out the last 4 years. This shit started long time ago and has gotten worse
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 ?
Ref: the play clock and game clock will start on my signal *both clocks start on his signal* *Bengals make a huge stop* Ref: The game clock should not have started so we will replay the down BRO WHAT??!!!??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
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
@@timothy3644 was it rigged then when they got the holding call as well? If you think it’s all rigged and do us a favor and stop watching the games then complaining about them. See ya flat earthier.

The games are pre decided. Welcome to reality
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

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?

@@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.
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?

I still think the most obvious evidence of rigging is the 2018 NFC championship between the Saints and Rams when the Saints are trying to score at the end of the game, Rams defender commits an obvious pass interference right in front of the ref and it doesn’t get called. Every couch potato in the country watching the game at home could’ve thrown that flag and even the Rams player gets up like he couldn’t believe he got away with it. I completely forgot about this game being controversial but that Saints-Rams game still sticks in my mind.
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.
Yes the game clock should not have been running, but it was the head official's fault. He says at 1:06 "the play clock and game clock will start on my signal"
@@xrhin0x895 well that is just assanine because the game clock that they show on the tv was NOT running before the ball was snapped. Some asshole that it is their job to run the actual game clock f-ed up and damn well should be fired for it. Probably their only job to do and they f-ed it up. That's what you are saying? 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...
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
Neither team in the AFC Championship game wanted to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. So the refs took matters into their own hands and gave the game to the home team KC. It's that simple.
@@rockyzrockyx917 No, once the Eagles made it, they wanted the Andy Reid story. For some odd reason, they are also talking about two blak QB's, as if that makes people proud. It still does not erase the coaching...
The NFL wants to be able to show more images of Taylor Swift in her luxury suite. You can't do that if the playing field is level. The Bengals should have been facing the 49ers in last year's Super Bowl.
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.
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
Honestly I like the chiefs and the whole 2nd half felt unfair even to me, every case where it was like 50/50 as to whether there’d be a call or not went in KC’s favor, like that PI on hilton or grounding on Burrow. Wish we could’ve have a game without the bs like this bc I think the chiefs would’ve won anyway, this way it just doesn’t feel like we earned it
The grounding was pretty fair, he was still in between the tackles and it wasn't near anyone. By rule it was. There was the PI where he hooked the WR and twisted him before the catch, is that what you are referring to?
The grounding wasn't a bad call but the fact the flag came out 20 seconds after the play was over was the problem I had with it, it just didn't feel right.
I was screaming for the grounding long before they threw the flag...that seemed obvious to me. The PI was soft. Was it technically a flag, I guess...but I don't want that called.
@@sirisaac6125 They always do that with intentional grounding, it has more complicated criteria and the refs need to discuss it. It may be annoying to fans but it’s necessary
@@10thletter40 By the letter of the rule it was pass interference, but imo in the 4th quarter of a playoff game I think they should let that one go. I think refs should be more lenient when it comes to calling penalties is situations like that. On Mahomes’s run to set up KC’s game winning field goal, the chiefs got away with a hold that was more of a penalty than the PI on cinci was
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.
There was NO WHISTLE until after Kelce is tackled. Chiefs punt team comes onto the field, 2 minutes later this ref comes on the field to say we are gonna RE PLAY 3RD DOWN?!
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

The most frustrating thing about it as a non-chief fan is that Patrick Mahomes is truly great. I feel that he could have won many or all of these close games WITHOUT the refs/league cheating for him. Ref meddling has tarnished his legacy
@@DrMcSpankus Kelce took his own helmet off while on the field, wasn’t penalized, then really said to himself, well if I can take off my own helmet, I guess I can take off an opposing player’s
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.
The only time I remembered something as bizarre as this was the 1972 Olympic basketball between the US and USSR where the officials gave the Russians 3 chances to score on an inbound pass, where they finally succeeded on the third try.
I remember that, I thought of that when that happened. When the Ref's called a penalty on the second third down, I knew it was rigged. NFL SUCKS! An I am not a Bengals fan!
@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.
People forget that the NFL is literally categorized as ENTERTAINMENT not a SPORT! It’s closer to the WWE than college football. It’s all about storylines and narratives
"Classified" by who? Of course it's entertainment. There are spectators and they buy tickets. The word "entertainment" doesn't have anything to do with the outcome. It means people find it entertaining.
@@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.
@@dewayne6570 The problem is that you can't have a ref come running in from the secondary waving his hands trying to stop the play and assume that just because the players played on that all 22 of them played at full speed. As unfortunate as it was, you could easily make that case that that play had to be redone due to the fact that the ref could have confused some of the players into thinking that the play didn't count.

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

@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
The biggest problem I had with the reffing last night was the awful spot they gave the bengals, dude was downed by his knees past the first down, and instead of giving the bengals the first down, which would have made it first and goal, they made it 3-1, and bengals ran out of time because of it, and had to settle for 3 instead of 7, would have made final score 24-23 bengals win, I don’t even like the bengals, they killed my raiders playoff hopes last year with another bad ref call, but the officiating was so bad both of Sunday’s games.
So when the raiders play The Bangles they rig it against the raiders but when the Chiefs play The Bangles they rig it against the Bengals.... Wow that's freaky
@@billpardew2375Where did he say anything about it being rigged ? He said the officiating was bad and it was lol and the bengals v raiders wild card game last year was a perfect example of the refs being incompetent in another big game without any accountability
Didn't they just punt a minute later? And then the game ended on a Chiefs possession, so the extra time would have helped them. This do-over only created another hurdle for the Chiefs.
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.
Not to mention the chiefs dynasty narrative and the “First ever 2 black QB’s” in the Super Bowl during black history month narrative to sell that Super Bowl.
If ever there was a game to make a strong case for rigging going on in the NFL it's got to be this one.

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.

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.
So much for the excuse that they were replacement refs.
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.

@@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.

Cope
Naw Cincinnati got off the field tho even wth all that bs on that drive
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.

I still think the most obvious evidence of rigging is the 2018 NFC championship between the Saints and Rams when the Saints are trying to score at the end of the game, Rams defender commits an obvious pass interference right in front of the ref and it doesn’t get called. Every couch potato in the country watching the game at home could’ve thrown that flag and even the Rams player gets up like he couldn’t believe he got away with it. I completely forgot about this game being controversial but that Saints-Rams game still sticks in my mind.
Never have I ever heard the phrase "the play was shutdown". Usually they say called dead or dead whistle.
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.
Yes the game clock should not have been running, but it was the head official's fault. He says at 1:06 "the play clock and game clock will start on my signal"
@@xrhin0x895 well that is just assanine because the game clock that they show on the tv was NOT running before the ball was snapped. Some asshole that it is their job to run the actual game clock f-ed up and damn well should be fired for it. Probably their only job to do and they f-ed it up. That's what you are saying? 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...
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.
Oh good lord.
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
NFL makes more money this way. It's what's best for business.
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
Even if 15 threw a touchdown on that play it gets called back, foh

Rewatch it. The game clock and the play clock both DID start on the whistle the first time around, making this more infuriating.
Ron Tolbert screwed it up. He told them to start the game clock and only should have started play clock. Ref messed up big time
Why not just add 5 seconds to the clock? Makes no sense.
The NFL wants to be able to show more images of Taylor Swift in her luxury suite. You can't do that if the playing field is level. The Bengals should have been facing the 49ers in last year's Super Bowl.

“Play was shut down”? That’s the most absurd thing I’ve heard in an NFL game to date
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.
No they weren't. Different black dude.
@@Domi39 Damn you right, my bad, but this is still a terrible group of refs
In the case of Eagles game, Niners committed clear penalties and fouls like punching, bodyslamming, hands to the face, late hit out of bounds etc.
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.
9ers wouldn’t have won even without the refs
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
@@drdrew3 football (soccer) doesn’t have these issues lol…it’s a pretty straightforward process adding stoppage time at the end of halves

@@fredbologn2344 woah woah woah
Honestly I like the chiefs and the whole 2nd half felt unfair even to me, every case where it was like 50/50 as to whether there’d be a call or not went in KC’s favor, like that PI on hilton or grounding on Burrow. Wish we could’ve have a game without the bs like this bc I think the chiefs would’ve won anyway, this way it just doesn’t feel like we earned it
The grounding was pretty fair, he was still in between the tackles and it wasn't near anyone. By rule it was.
There was the PI where he hooked the WR and twisted him before the catch, is that what you are referring to?
The grounding wasn't a bad call but the fact the flag came out 20 seconds after the play was over was the problem I had with it, it just didn't feel right.
I was screaming for the grounding long before they threw the flag...that seemed obvious to me.
The PI was soft. Was it technically a flag, I guess...but I don't want that called.
@@sirisaac6125 They always do that with intentional grounding, it has more complicated criteria and the refs need to discuss it. It may be annoying to fans but it’s necessary
@@10thletter40 By the letter of the rule it was pass interference, but imo in the 4th quarter of a playoff game I think they should let that one go. I think refs should be more lenient when it comes to calling penalties is situations like that. On Mahomes’s run to set up KC’s game winning field goal, the chiefs got away with a hold that was more of a penalty than the PI on cinci was
This why i dont pay to watch football or anything..... any one who says football isnt rigged is dumb as a paperclip and is in denial
Ron Tolbert screwed it up. He told them to start the game clock and only should have started play clock. Ref messed up big time
There was no whistle. One ref in the way almost made the attempt to stop the play but he did not.
They punted still. U watch NFL? U know what happens or u just a cranky Karen?
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
@@drdrew3 so loud on 3rd down with the home team on offense? Lmao
@@drdrew3 Still pushing nonsense? Enjoy your sports entertainment WWE/NFL, shill.
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.
There was NO WHISTLE until after Kelce is tackled. Chiefs punt team comes onto the field, 2 minutes later this ref comes on the field to say we are gonna RE PLAY 3RD DOWN?!
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

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.
Goodalls favorite team is KC, as he has stated. Pretty much explains it. They are also his most money making team.
Its mind blowing how ref incompetence changes sports history.
I’ll always wonder if the chiefs would’ve gotten the first down if they would’ve replayed the down…
Happened in the lions Seahawks game on a 3rd down stop which ended up being a touchdown for the hawks. Basically costed lions a playoff spot

THEY ARE RIGGING THE OUTCOMES AND HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS
The only time I remembered something as bizarre as this was the 1972 Olympic basketball between the US and USSR where the officials gave the Russians 3 chances to score on an inbound pass, where they finally succeeded on the third try.
I remember that, I thought of that when that happened. When the Ref's called a penalty on the second third down, I knew it was rigged. NFL SUCKS! An I am not a Bengals fan!
That was the 1st thing I thought of and when they sacked him then the d holding came out. They really had to work hard to give them a first down
Yep! Good analogy!
@@johnnys3353 Well,,,they didn't work hard enough cause they had to punt anyway.
Difference is the USSR scored and the Chiefs punted.
The philosophy I’ve had and always will:
LET THE BOYS PLAY!
100% agree! at least in playoff games. PLEASE leave the refs out of it unless there is a blatant call that HAS to be made
They should definitely let off the excessive calling in these unless it’s blatant
I've never been a believer in the games are "scripted" or "fixed" but ummmmm... I'm convinced now.
Yup
Last year's NFC championship game was super obvious as well, so much so RDC world made a skit on it.
Salty bengals fan
exactly the ref rigged it for his homeboy mahomes
@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.
People forget that the NFL is literally categorized as ENTERTAINMENT not a SPORT! It’s closer to the WWE than college football. It’s all about storylines and narratives
"Classified" by who? Of course it's entertainment. There are spectators and they buy tickets. The word "entertainment" doesn't have anything to do with the outcome. It means people find it entertaining.
@ I’m not liking that you felt the inclination to respond in any way
They did the same thing a season earlier for the Chiefs against the raiders.
I promise if they got the 1st down on their first free attempt on 3rd and 9 - it would have been overlooked and the game would have continued. No redo
Negative. Had they even scored a TD, it would have been called back...and Coach Reid would have been fuming! That's the breaks buddy!
No it wouldn't of been because one of the officals was stopping the play before it started.
Not sure about that, but I guarantee that if they got the first down on the redo, the ticky tack defensive hold would not have been called.
@@ethanvai1873 how do you know that
@@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.
I'll never be convinced that the game clock couldn't be corrected once the original 3rd down play completed.
Exactly it's not like both teams were playing the clock at that time there was like 10 minutes
@@dewayne6570 The problem is that you can't have a ref come running in from the secondary waving his hands trying to stop the play and assume that just because the players played on that all 22 of them played at full speed. As unfortunate as it was, you could easily make that case that that play had to be redone due to the fact that the ref could have confused some of the players into thinking that the play didn't count.
@@William_M_Buttlicker_II this is the right answer.

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
