@@swilliams937hahaha. It’s hilarious that you think Andy Reid gives any fucks about the “points.” You just sound like someone that lost a boat load of money.
@@swilliams937 Not really. If you put in that situation they could return it for a touchdown within the 15 seconds or block it and recover it in the end zone. Then they go for 2 and make it, then recover an onside kick, then score again to either tie or win. Would that be completely insane? Yes. But it is possible. By burning clock and conceding a safety, you force them into a one-play situation down by 9.
Big time Texans fan here, the offensive line not squeezing gaps on blitzes and the specials teams kick coverage, kicking and the last punt lost us the game
Two things can be true at once everything you said ia true that’s part of why we lost but those 3rd down stops that they threw flags on they got 10 points off it & who knows what kinda swing that could have been
Both games yesterday reminded me of the way The Patriots used to win a lot of their games. Play solid, don't make mistakes, and let the other team beat themselves.
@@Bobby-li9th oh trust me I don’t think the Texans deserved to win they played awfully, and even if the refs were mentally capable the chiefs very likely still would’ve won
@@pc8134 The refs didn't sack Stroud 8 times. The refs didn't block the field goal. The refs didn't allow a 65 yard kick return and make Boyd throw his helmet off on the field of play.
@@brianm6117 What you say about this particular game is true. But what about the missed hip drop tackle that should have been called. And some other questionable calls made that you did not mention that favored the chiefs. And not just this game, but many chiefs games had a lot of non calls that benefitted them, mostly holding and false starts. You can be in denial all you want, but everybody from the other 31 teams are complaining about the refs making sure the chiefs win.
This was one call. Granted it’s not a great call, but it’s only one call. How about this for Houston, don’t give up 8 sacks, don’t let over-the-hill Kelce torch you, get a lot better on special teams (kicking, punting, and kick coverage), run a better no-huddle. Their postgame interviews, blaming the refs is weak.
Three or four of those sacks came at the end when the Chiefs knew they had to pass and could tee off. Learn football. Texans made errors, but the refs directly influenced the outcome of this game. Everyone saw it. It's all over the internet and social media. Check it out.
@@RRCCTexas “Three or four of those sacks came when they knew they had to pass.” 🤔 EDIT: “The refs directly influenced the outcome of the game.” 😂😂😂 This kind of FB IQ is why nobody takes you Chiefs Haters seriously. The RTP calls were ticky-tack, agree, but the 1st one was 6 plays into the game. Aziz Al-Shaair hospitalized Trevor Lawrence 4 weeks ago, and your team drew an unsportsmanlike foul on the very first play of this game. So yeah, the refs were watching the vaunted Texans D for the dirty play they’re known for, and that’s why they were flagging you. If you know football so much, surely you know that the refs tell teams before every game what kind of penalties they’ll be looking for based on prior behavior. The Chiefs are known for formational penalties and have lost at least two huge games since 2018 directly because of them, including an AFC Championship in OT. Chiefs fans freak out about bad calls just as any fan base does. Calm down, chill out on the sports betting, and try watching entire games instead of YT highlights. And saying something is true because it’s on social media is a chilling statement. Get some self-awareness.
@@davidm.2141 You need to go and take a refresher course on football. The whole country knows these calls directly influenced the outcome of the game. Texans might have lost anyway, but we'll never know now will we? Self awareness🤣🤣 . Dude you need some football awareness. Maybe a Swiftie?
The o-line was clearing paths for the running backs and protecting Stroud until they turned on the blitz in crunch time. Stroud panics during crunch time and they knew it.
@@thetruthfornow6045 I mean sure, but hard to do that when your o-line gets destroyed on the blitz and no one is open. Can't just throw it away every down when they need 2 scroes.
Thanks to the atrocious job by the refs, I’ve seen so many people completely ignore how the Chiefs were able to destroy the Texans’ offensive line when it came to sacking the QB and their special teams being able to put pressure on the kicker, plus some questionable decisions by the Texans leading them to shoot themselves in the foot a bit. Almost everyone seems to ignore those things in favor of blaming bad officiating. It’s kind of refreshing finally hearing someone say that the penalties weren’t the sole reason they won the game, so thank you.
I'm biased but I feel like the officiating really isn't atrocious, the rules might need a look though. As a ref when you see a QBs head snap back or hear helmets connect you have to make that call, it's really up to it being non-reviewable for no reason for such high impact calls. A really bad call is the no call on Jared Goff being blocked into next week and having to be evaluated for a concussion on a play he should have been "protected."
@@badgoogle4509th fact that they make it non reviewable almost seems to me that the league is saying “the officials are always objectively correct on these calls and therefore there is no reason they need to be reviewed”
@jacktem1 yeah honestly it sucks but it isnt without reason, at the end of the day you cant have every penalty be reviewed into oblivion, it ruins the game and disrupts the flow. most penalties arent crystal clear, so it is kind of fair. also, in the game the announcers said that if in replays it shows the penalties are false they can be ordered to pick up the flag, the problem is they cant do that if there is any contact to legitimise the call, like the first one, there was very slight contact. in real time in looked legit so you cant blame the flag being thrown, but why wasnt it picked up? because there was a tiny bit of helmet to helmet.
@eawcuber2985 the flag was for hitting him after his knee hit the ground, he is down at that point and doesn't have to be touched by anyone. The qb gets to do that, every qb gets to do that
@@darthcaedus9130 the chiefs are one of the most penalized teams in the league since Mahomes became the starter. people only complain about the calls that go in the chiefs favor because the chiefs keep winning. if they had league average results with the same calls, the script would be completely flipped.
@@sambo6256no. It is the refs. Mahomes who had no money coming into the league joined a small market team with an owner with no more money than any other owner somehow convinced the league to favor this team over the cowboys, 9ers, patriots, both New York teams, the two new LA teams and bring all the attention to Missouri. They have convinced the refs to favor this small market team and even somehow bribed one of the wealthier most powerful women in the world to become a fan and date one of their best players all because the Hunt family and Mahomes are paying the refs even though they get penalized more and don’t have any more money than any other team and actually less than much of the owners. That is the conspiracy theory of every football fan who has lost to the chiefs the last 7 years. Or the Texans could not go for it on 4th down with half the okay clock chewed up and maybe not leave 7 points off the board from missed kicks.
Well said. I’ve seen so many people say “oh well it’s rigged why didn’t the chiefs just punt it, they did it for Vegas” NO! That’s just so unfathomably stupid! You take an intentional safety so Houston doesn’t: A. Block the punt/return the punt for a TD. B. So the desperate Texans don’t hurt Araiza on a Punt Block Attempt! Sure KC could’ve punted, but there’s no reason too. As automatic as punts seem, its risks albeit small made it useless in garbage time when KC should prepare for the AFCCG.
Another thing. The announcers complained about calls more than once, but they stated that the plays, specifically the high contact on Mahomes, looked like helmet-to-helmet contact in real time. Refereeing is hard, and the Texans had injured Trevor Lawrence earlier this year with helmet to helmet hits, it makes sense that the NFL would try hard to prevent this from happening again, no matter who the QB is.
The big issue is that Aikman and Buck spent so long complaining about the iffy calls that went the Chiefs way. They even brought it up again later in the game. They talked a short amount about the iffy calls that went the Texans way. Sitting here right now watching the Ravens Bills games, the announcers brought up a bad call and moved on. They didn't sit there talking about the bad call for 10 minutes. Bad calls happen in every single game, yet we have people out here pretending that its only happening in the Chiefs favor in large part because the announcers are focusing so hard on it while ignoring the calls that went in the Texans favor, which no one seems to remember.
The way AIKMEN lost his mind on that play was ridiculous! Little biased there are we?!! His reaction was way over the top. why was he even doing commentary on a Texans game? We all know he should be sitting on a couch somewhere and yeah he just blurted out whatever he wanted and very unprofessional!!! Him and Joe Buck are out, I would rather have had Romo!
Houston, you have a problem. Four weeks ago your safety targeted the head of a quarterback. He was suspended for three games. Against Mahomes when he slid two helmets were bearing down on his head resulting in a penalty. The Chiefs did target Stroud but they targeted his legs which is legal.
@@CeeDeeprodz15 the refs call head to head targeting all the time. Luckily Mahomes escaped the major contact when he slid. That was lucky. If he was hit he probably has to leave the game and the team loses. The league does not want a game decided by targeting.
@ I think it would be harder to put a list together of bad calls against the chiefs than putting together a list of bs calls against the teams that play the chiefs. List the bad calls against the chiefs.
I knew this game was over after the first play when the chiefs took it back real far then the Texans guy shoved there coach. Not something you want on your sideline.
@@blindjustice8718 Allowing the opposing team to almost run the kickoff all the way back, barely stopping them, then not getting the fumble recovery, plus an additional15 yard penalty for removing your helmet and throwing it is making a good play? Not to mention this was the first play of the game.
This is how I see it , and I have no dog in this fight . There are already rules in place that heavily protect QB we all know that .. they are not going anywhere, so to expect the refs to not call them is naïve. Then add to the fact there is a player on this Texans defense that had repeat offenses of illegal hits to players the last one being to Trever Lawrence giving him a concussion, resulting in him being ejected from the game and suspended for three more games. Do people not think the Refs are going to be on high alert for any hit coming remotely close to the QB head areas . Especially when they are seeing it in real time fast as hell , and we all have the luxury seeing it in slow motion replay . So yeah after seeing the slow motion , probably a bad call , but to start crying rigged Refs on the take .. with out logically thinking of all these factors in my opinion is willfully ignorant.
It was an atrocious coaching performance. I don't know if I would fire them for being bad though. I would absolutely 100% fire them for whining about the refs, no matter how right or wrong they are. It is absolute cancer for a sports team.
It's not so much the calls, it's also the timing of the calls, extending drives that should be stopped. Player safety should also include defensive players who have to change their momentum to avoid hitting a LATE SLIDING QB. But, when the only controversial calls go to the Chiefs, and when 1/3 of the commercials have Mahomes, Kelce, and/or Andy Reid, and the cameras are constantly showing Taylor Swift, you start to get the feeling you were NEVER going to have a chance to win. It wasn't just the bad calls, it was the momentum killing timing of calls, as well as ball spots so bad and frequent.
Might have something to do with the two missed FG's, missed Extra Point, 15 yard "throwing the helmet penalty"......AND THE 8 SACKS ALLOWED!! Clear example of the cliche, "The Chefs didn't win, The Texans lost".
Three or four of those sacks came at the end when the Chiefs knew they had to pass and could tee off. Learn football. Texans made errors, but the refs directly influenced the outcome of this game. Everyone saw it. It's all over the internet and social media. Check it out.
The Texans were out coached. The offensive line pass blocking was horrible as it has been all season. In spite of that, the Texans might have had a chance to win if it wasn't for the two penalties for roughing Mahomes even though he was barely touched in both cases and he is the best at doing the late flop. To beat the Chiefs you have to play an almost perfect game and my Texans did not come close.
Great take! I've not heard it through this lens and you make a ton of great points. And perhaps they should have fired the special teams coach instead of the player that was pissed at him
You forgot to mention the offensive line allowing the quarterback to be sacked repeatedly. What was it, 8 times? The coach and offensive coordinator did a lousy job calling plays, and the players did a lousy job executing. Across the board. And thank you for mentioning the safety. Most fans don't understand why the Chiefs handled it that way.
Three or four of those sacks came at the end when the Chiefs knew they had to pass and could tee off. Texans made lots of errors, but the refs directly influenced the outcome of this game. Everyone saw it. It's all over the internet and social media.
@ Every football Dynasty suffers this kind of chatter from the teams they beat and those teams' fans. And from has beens and never were or will bes in the media. But the fact remains that the Texans played on par with little league football. EIGHT sacks. Missed tackles, botched coverage, missed field goals, etc. Were there a few bad, or missed calls by the refs? Certainly. There are every game. Did they cause the Texans to lose? No. The Texans just weren't up to the challenge. Which in all honesty, surprised me. They're a better team than what we all saw during that game.
@@RRCCTexasits weird that you say "everybody in the internet and social media saw it". Thats where a lot of misinformation starts. That doesn't mean that its fact because poeple on those platforms say so. Did you watch the game? Did you see the stats. Get context before relying on the internet and social media. Not just for sports, but life in general.
@@RRCCTexas Dude, the game was national TV. Of the course the whole country saw it. The refs affected at minimum 2 drives, in which the Texans, if they're as good as everybody was saying they were, should've been able to bounce back from. Were the refs great? No. Were those calls good? No. But that's not what ultimately lost the game for the Texans. This conversation is legitimate if the calls were in the final drive of a 1 possession game and the Texans have no way to recover. Otherwise, you're crying over 1 aspect of the game when there's at least 6 to 7 other things that were waaaay more influential to the outcome.
As insignificant as it may seem compared to some of the other mistakes ,especially the missed field goal, I think the missed extra point was devastating. It just sucked the heart out of the team going right into the half. The bad calls definitely changed the course of the game but you just gotta expect that going into Kansas City unfortunately
3 or 4 of those sacks came at the end of the game when the Chiefs knew they had to pass and could tee off. Basic football dude. Texans made errors, but the refs directly influenced the outcome of this game. And we all know why. NFL gotta keep the Chiefs in it so they can keep showing the pop star to boost ratings $$$$. Everyone saw it. It's all over the internet and social media.
I've watched the coach shove sequence about 40k times. I don't think he was mad. I think he was hyped and goofing. I think they both realized the misunderstanding in a reasonable amount of time. But the slow mo makes it look like he's living in terror for months. idk maybe everyone already thought this. I shouldn't have jumped on the tsk tsk bandwagon.
Also, they should've tried the fg before the 2min warning, as they had 2 time outs so they could've got the ball back even if the onside kick didnt work.
Yeah it seems like they didn't really have a plan for the 2 minute warning, they just rushed a play and that showed with the huge loss they had from it.
@badgoogle4509 i get its hard on the sideline dealing with 1 million things at once. Also seems to me that there are things you go over witb your assistants, so if you forget they remind you....
Your content is great. Its amazing the small percentage of YT NFL content creators that are just whining about refs after that game. There must be some weird mass psychosis going on. Great breakdown, logical.
If the Texans are smart, they should bring in Ben Kotwika to coach special teams. I don't know why Denver got rid of him, and he was pretty damn good here in Washington.
Even if those penalties were dismissed, Texans would've lost 12-13. How many times were Stroud sacked? How many times did they not score a touchdown on their drives? How many times did they miss the field goals? And how many times was their field goal block? It is sad, but the Texans weren't playing their best.
As a lifelong football junkie in my 50's, I've never seen a less impressive 15-1 team (not counting the season finale vs Denver). It's not that they won a game like this, it's that many games have played out like this. Which leads people to speculate on the integrity of the process. I expect them to win 2 more games in similar fashion. Time will tell.
Perfect analysis. Yes, those 2 penalties were bs. But it was these hidden special teams mistakes that cost them crucial field position. KC invested in DST in the off season and it shows. They've been doing this all season. D, ST. 2 coaches.
No one would be yelling "rigged" in this game if it had not been a pattern all year. All year the number of hard to defend penalty calls, the timing giving extra possesions when the game is close, and the things not called against KC. The evidence is overwhelming.
Youre not gonna talk about the mahomes flop on the sideline or his slide that got a 15 yard penalty? That game sucked to watch. The game after they had more points in the first quarter lol
The faux roughing call on 3rd down; during the 3rd Q; gave the Chiefs 15 yards and new set of downs. Chiefs offense should have been off the field. Instead the penalty set them up for a touchdown. Hard to swallow. NFL has no shame.
The penalty didn't set them up for a TD. It gave them 15 yards and a 1st down. The defense can still make a play to stop them from scoring after both "faux" calls. What you and Texans fans are actually doing is admitting that you believe your defense or your team, for that matter, is not good enough to overcome to penalties that weren't even late in the game. And if that's the case, then the Texans were going to lose anyways and this conversation is null and void.
The thing I keep screaming into the internet ether that nobody wants to hear is that only one of those 2 bad calls was even decisive. The first one saved them from 4th and long. The second one would’ve been somewhere around 2nd and 5. The penalties didn’t win them the game, even if they might not’ve been the right calls.
@@muskyoxesChiefs routinely overcome the phantom penalties that would be drive killers for everyone else. But the crybabies never see/admit *those* bad calls. The Chiefs just deal with it. Both Reid and Chenal got held on the blocked FG. No flags tho. Had the kick been good, these chumps wouldn't say a word. If roles were reversed, Stroud sliding with two Chiefs diving at his head or the RTP helmet to helmet, these same chumps would be SCREAMING for the flag against the Chiefs. CDS is real.
@@blindjustice8718 Fact the two Texans players hit each other's helmets with mahomes untouched. Everyone knows this that watched the game.....I get kc fan but that's a true fact
In many games this season, the Chiefs look like the team with less talent, getting outplayed, but wind up winning. Taylor Swift's boyfriend moves like he's 50 years old, but somehow he keeps making catches. I'm not a Chiefs fan, but I've developed a real admiration for the way they keep playing hard and win game after game they should have lost.
wow so a so called bad call happened in the second quarter what about the rest of the game Guess the refs helped get 8 sacks on stroud Guess refs helped Texans kicker miss all those kicks
Cry me a river, they gave you that Schultz catch and let your team get away with holding Chris Jones basically the entire 4th quarter. The refs more than made up for the one bad call
If you get a chance to see replays from various angles, you'll notice that Will Anderson head-butted Patrick's faceguard on his helmet. It looks like it was done on purpose. Also, it doesn't matter if or when he passed it - it was a blow to the head, NOT just the chest.
@jacktem1 They went 7-1 against the entire AFC playoff field before sitting their starters against the Broncos. Now we get a rematch against the Bills.
@@MrDavidknigge No it’s not bro, after the way the Bills won their game, they have a very small chance of beating the Chiefs cuz the Ravens didn’t even show up against the Bills
that's because its more comforting for them to blame the refs or other non-sense then to admit that the chiefs made the plays that count, and their team couldn't
Refs in Kansas City definitely need to be investigated. Not saying Texans would’ve won, but there needs to be there needs to be fair referee on both sides
8 sacks, 5 turnovers, blocked kick, 2 missed kicks, an 80 yard initial return, and going for it on 4th and 10 and failing. Oh yeah it was the refs..lol.
Special teams were awful, OLine fell apart, and play calling had sum huge holes. Even then, the bad officiating was frustrating because they came at potential momentum swing moments for Texans, who proved last week that they can flip a switch and win games off one play. It just sucks that refs are even a factor but that’s the way it goes
You forgot to mention the Texans offensive line allowing 8 sacks helping contribute to the loss. You can't score if your quarterback is always on his ass.
@@jessemascorro1492 If the roles were reversed and Ominihu hit Stroud like that, your same chump ass would be SCREAMING for the flag.

@@cliffordmcintosh8291 Ratings dude. The pop-star brings millions of viewers who wouldn't otherwise watch. Too bad your team can't win without the ref's help.
You're entirely correct about the game, but the officiating the entire year has been so suspiciously slanted in the Chiefs' favor that football fans are getting frustrated and aren't able to see the actual game between the bad calls. The NFL might be happy the Chiefs are winning, but they need to have some officiating conversations in the offseason, because no NFL team in history is this consistently lucky.
But why KC? Everyone thinks of it as fly over country. What makes them so special? Mahomes hasn't really played as dynamically, and the Taylor Swift drama has subsided. I remember watching a bit of the Royals World Series in '14 and Joe Buck was clearly wanting them to lose. He didn't even hide his bias. So it's just odd for the NFL to favor a city nobody seems to care about.
@@shatteredanis1592 Mahomes is a spokesman for State Farm insurance, a major NFL sponsor. Taylor Swift fans certainly haven't grown tired of her and Kelce (they made a Hallmark movie about a Chiefs love story, for God's sakes). They're also a popular team with Republicans, and given our current political climate, it adds up. It's not about what football fans want. Essentially, the NFL is obsessed with getting non-NFL fans into the game. Swift got women watching, Butker (and others on the roster) excite conservatives, and Goodell keeps trying to get Europeans into American football. Those of us who care about the sport are sick of the Chiefs, but the NFL still thinks they're the ticket to draw more people in. For now, at least.
@@ItsDatCajunStuff That was an absolutely terrible take. If the Chiefs are "Republicans" that would make them less likely to be cheered for. Less likely to be favored. It's not popular to be a republican. Not sure if you noticed. The State Farm thing has zero to do with anything. The Swift drama is over. And the Europeans have zero to do with it. Wanna try again? That was a wasted effort of bs you spewed.
A conspiracy like this would be literally criminal. Billionaires own these teams, and if you take profit from a billionaire you're going straight to jail. And obviously, a conspiracy would pick the Cowboys or a New York team to win. Bringing up State Farm gets the order obviously wrong. First a conspiracy picks a winning team, then the players on that team get really popular because of the winning, and then State Farm chooses those players for their commercials
@@shatteredanis1592 You asked why KC and I gave you a few reasons. I never said any of them were based in fact, and I agreed with the video that the Texans lost the game on their own. I pointed out that fans are frustrated with the consistent weird calls. Just because you didn't like my (likely untrue) reasons doesn't make you automatically right. I'm reiterating the thing we've been seeing with our eyeballs all year, but maybe the Chiefs just are that damn lucky. You're entitled to you opinions about Swift (they still point out every single game she's attending) or the NFL trying to get overseas fans (Goodell must have accidentally scheduled 5 overseas games this year, what a goof). My effort to offer some theories may be wasted on you, but you responded twice now, so thanks for the discourse "shattered anus." It's nice to have a fan. Have a good one.
Funny, the chiefs didn't miss any of their kicks in the same 17 mph wind. The chiefs ball didn't even slightly move to the left or right in the wind. Explain that one.
Great video. Sadly haters will never see logic. Always easier to call Wolf and make accusations of cheating and rigging. So sad, people just can't stand the chiefs winning. But i all them this. If it was your team in this position, would you be saying the same thing. I highly doubt they would
I think the NFL needs to look into Troy’s comments during the game. His remarks about the unnecessary roughness call I think got most of the tongues wagging about biased penalty calls! Players and coaches get fined for speaking their personal opinions about the penalties being called and on whom they call them on!
How much of the Chiefs' success the past 3 years has been because of just consistently good special teams play? Maybe never the best team in the league, but NEVER the feature on the low-lights reel.
Arrowhead beat the Texans as much as the Chiefs did. That place is a nightmare for a visitor this time of year. Unless you play there all the time the wind this time of year is impossible to understand, it's cold and LOUD. A warm weather dome team like the Texans were f**ked from the start. Same with the Eagles over LA. The snow beat LA.
I consider missed field goals (from 40 yds or further) and failed 4th down attempts as turnovers. The Texans had 4 possession changing plays or turnovers. The Chiefs had none. The calls were bad and I would love for the league to address it - but that is not why the Texans lost.
@@RRCCTexas The refs definitely saved one drive that led to a score. The other one was a 4 yrd pick-up that got 15 yrds added. With how well the Texans were playing defense, you can't argue that the calls didn't make a difference.
Play smart, don't beat yourself. Sound football advice. I love seeing teams fail on 4th and shouldn't have gone for it, trust your defense, hell even your special teams. Do you have any idea how many times a muffed punt return has impacted a playoff game. Love seeing probability humble these 4th down and go for it coaches.
Yes special teams are part of why the texans lost. They missed a field goal, they missed a PAT, they had a field goal blocked, they gave up 7 sacks in the 4th quarter and they were Kelce run wild on them all game.
Any o line is in trouble when your behind and forced to throw the ball...I agree you got to play better than the other team and over come bad calls but boy they quick to throw a flag i counted 9 bad calls and it didn't seem to be balanced each way for both teams we all now there the better team
Thank you. That’s all I’m saying. Those were bad calls but now people are exaggerating calls in the past too. Acting like that’s the only team that gets bad calls and that’s the reason they win. It’s ridiculous. There were two bad calls for kc. There were two bad calls for the ravens in their game too. Yet they didn’t win so nobody cares.
The Chief have only played one good, dominating game this season which was Pittsburgh on Christmas. It’s a mystery how they win games and are the #1 seed. I was at the Broncos game, and Bo Nix made Patrick look like the rookie. SMH
texans fans know why texans lost, it’s not a surprising defeat. it’s more of chiefs fans acknowledging that their team can’t fully win a game without depending on the refs. not saying all chiefs fans because they’re some i respect, but most.
I would agree - Houston didn't look good...neither did KC for that matter but KC didn't torpedo themselves like Houston did. Having said that, there were AT LEAST 9 very questionable calls that went in KC's favor which makes it VERY difficult to call this a 'fair' game...nobody will ever know how those terrible calls in KC's favor would have affected the outcome, and the FACT is, if you've been watching KC all year like I have, you'd know this kind of special treatment for KC has been going on all season long. It's NOT sour grapes...when the opposition's head coach warns his team BEFORE the KC game that his guys are going up against BOTH the Chiefs AND the refs, there's a BIG problem.
Always love seeing the intentional safety as it reminds us why that is called a "safety" in the first place. 100% the correct tactical play there

@@brianm6117 What you say about this particular game is true. But what about the missed hip drop tackle that should have been called. And some other questionable calls made that you did not mention that favored the chiefs. And not just this game, but many chiefs games had a lot of non calls that benefitted them, mostly holding and false starts. You can be in denial all you want, but everybody from the other 31 teams are complaining about the refs making sure the chiefs win.
They allow players to assault coaches.
This was one call. Granted it’s not a great call, but it’s only one call. How about this for Houston, don’t give up 8 sacks, don’t let over-the-hill Kelce torch you, get a lot better on special teams (kicking, punting, and kick coverage), run a better no-huddle. Their postgame interviews, blaming the refs is weak.
Three or four of those sacks came at the end when the Chiefs knew they had to pass and could tee off. Learn football. Texans made errors, but the refs directly influenced the outcome of this game. Everyone saw it. It's all over the internet and social media. Check it out.
@@RRCCTexas “Three or four of those sacks came when they knew they had to pass.” 🤔

This kind of FB IQ is why nobody takes you Chiefs Haters seriously.
The RTP calls were ticky-tack, agree, but the 1st one was 6 plays into the game. Aziz Al-Shaair hospitalized Trevor Lawrence 4 weeks ago, and your team drew an unsportsmanlike foul on the very first play of this game. So yeah, the refs were watching the vaunted Texans D for the dirty play they’re known for, and that’s why they were flagging you. If you know football so much, surely you know that the refs tell teams before every game what kind of penalties they’ll be looking for based on prior behavior.
The Chiefs are known for formational penalties and have lost at least two huge games since 2018 directly because of them, including an AFC Championship in OT. Chiefs fans freak out about bad calls just as any fan base does.
Calm down, chill out on the sports betting, and try watching entire games instead of YT highlights. And saying something is true because it’s on social media is a chilling statement. Get some self-awareness.
@@davidm.2141 You need to go and take a refresher course on football. The whole country knows these calls directly influenced the outcome of the game. Texans might have lost anyway, but we'll never know now will we? Self awareness🤣🤣 . Dude you need some football awareness. Maybe a Swiftie?
Houston O-line was the problem yesterday.
A bit of both. Basically gifting the chiefs so many points through special teams meant the offense had to play out of their minds to win too
The o-line was clearing paths for the running backs and protecting Stroud until they turned on the blitz in crunch time. Stroud panics during crunch time and they knew it.
@@thetruthfornow6045 he was almost set a record for sacks in a playoff game lol.
@@brubie7584 that is on him. The other side was blitzing during crunch time. He has to figure that out. Mahomes did. Excuses are for those who lost.
@@thetruthfornow6045 I mean sure, but hard to do that when your o-line gets destroyed on the blitz and no one is open. Can't just throw it away every down when they need 2 scroes.
Thanks to the atrocious job by the refs, I’ve seen so many people completely ignore how the Chiefs were able to destroy the Texans’ offensive line when it came to sacking the QB and their special teams being able to put pressure on the kicker, plus some questionable decisions by the Texans leading them to shoot themselves in the foot a bit.
Almost everyone seems to ignore those things in favor of blaming bad officiating. It’s kind of refreshing finally hearing someone say that the penalties weren’t the sole reason they won the game, so thank you.
I'm biased but I feel like the officiating really isn't atrocious, the rules might need a look though. As a ref when you see a QBs head snap back or hear helmets connect you have to make that call, it's really up to it being non-reviewable for no reason for such high impact calls. A really bad call is the no call on Jared Goff being blocked into next week and having to be evaluated for a concussion on a play he should have been "protected."
They blized more in the 4th qt and he couldn't deal with it. That is how the chiefs won.
@@badgoogle4509th fact that they make it non reviewable almost seems to me that the league is saying “the officials are always objectively correct on these calls and therefore there is no reason they need to be reviewed”
@jacktem1 yeah honestly it sucks but it isnt without reason, at the end of the day you cant have every penalty be reviewed into oblivion, it ruins the game and disrupts the flow. most penalties arent crystal clear, so it is kind of fair.
also, in the game the announcers said that if in replays it shows the penalties are false they can be ordered to pick up the flag, the problem is they cant do that if there is any contact to legitimise the call, like the first one, there was very slight contact.
in real time in looked legit so you cant blame the flag being thrown, but why wasnt it picked up? because there was a tiny bit of helmet to helmet.
@eawcuber2985 the flag was for hitting him after his knee hit the ground, he is down at that point and doesn't have to be touched by anyone. The qb gets to do that, every qb gets to do that
But Isaac it’s easier just to complain about the refs

@@darthcaedus9130 the chiefs are one of the most penalized teams in the league since Mahomes became the starter. people only complain about the calls that go in the chiefs favor because the chiefs keep winning. if they had league average results with the same calls, the script would be completely flipped.
@@sambo6256 Despite being one of the most penalized teams, they also rarely lose. That logic doesn't sit well with low IQ NFL fans.
@@sambo6256no. It is the refs. Mahomes who had no money coming into the league joined a small market team with an owner with no more money than any other owner somehow convinced the league to favor this team over the cowboys, 9ers, patriots, both New York teams, the two new LA teams and bring all the attention to Missouri. They have convinced the refs to favor this small market team and even somehow bribed one of the wealthier most powerful women in the world to become a fan and date one of their best players all because the Hunt family and Mahomes are paying the refs even though they get penalized more and don’t have any more money than any other team and actually less than much of the owners.
That is the conspiracy theory of every football fan who has lost to the chiefs the last 7 years. Or the Texans could not go for it on 4th down with half the okay clock chewed up and maybe not leave 7 points off the board from missed kicks.
Well said. I’ve seen so many people say “oh well it’s rigged why didn’t the chiefs just punt it, they did it for Vegas” NO! That’s just so unfathomably stupid! You take an intentional safety so Houston doesn’t: A. Block the punt/return the punt for a TD. B. So the desperate Texans don’t hurt Araiza on a Punt Block Attempt! Sure KC could’ve punted, but there’s no reason too. As automatic as punts seem, its risks albeit small made it useless in garbage time when KC should prepare for the AFCCG.
Another thing. The announcers complained about calls more than once, but they stated that the plays, specifically the high contact on Mahomes, looked like helmet-to-helmet contact in real time. Refereeing is hard, and the Texans had injured Trevor Lawrence earlier this year with helmet to helmet hits, it makes sense that the NFL would try hard to prevent this from happening again, no matter who the QB is.
The big issue is that Aikman and Buck spent so long complaining about the iffy calls that went the Chiefs way. They even brought it up again later in the game. They talked a short amount about the iffy calls that went the Texans way. Sitting here right now watching the Ravens Bills games, the announcers brought up a bad call and moved on. They didn't sit there talking about the bad call for 10 minutes. Bad calls happen in every single game, yet we have people out here pretending that its only happening in the Chiefs favor in large part because the announcers are focusing so hard on it while ignoring the calls that went in the Texans favor, which no one seems to remember.
Exactly more lousy announcing from Joe buck and drunk troy aikman who would of guessed
The trevor lawrence hit wasnt helmet to helmet is the thing!
The way AIKMEN lost his mind on that play was ridiculous! Little biased there are we?!! His reaction was way over the top. why was he even doing commentary on a Texans game?

Houston, you have a problem. Four weeks ago your safety targeted the head of a quarterback. He was suspended for three games. Against Mahomes when he slid two helmets were bearing down on his head resulting in a penalty. The Chiefs did target Stroud but they targeted his legs which is legal.
@@thetruthfornow6045 ok but that should not have been a penalty against mahomes

In other words, coaching.
This is how I see it , and I have no dog in this fight .
There are already rules in place that heavily protect QB we all know that .. they are not going anywhere, so to expect the refs to not call them is naïve.
Then add to the fact there is a player on this Texans defense that had repeat offenses of illegal hits to players the last one being to Trever Lawrence giving him a concussion, resulting in him being ejected from the game and suspended for three more games. Do people not think the Refs are going to be on high alert for any hit coming remotely close to the QB head areas . Especially when they are seeing it in real time fast as hell , and we all have the luxury seeing it in slow motion replay . So yeah after seeing the slow motion , probably a bad call , but to start crying rigged Refs on the take .. with out logically thinking of all these factors in my opinion is willfully ignorant.
It was an atrocious coaching performance. I don't know if I would fire them for being bad though. I would absolutely 100% fire them for whining about the refs, no matter how right or wrong they are. It is absolute cancer for a sports team.
It's not so much the calls, it's also the timing of the calls, extending drives that should be stopped.
Player safety should also include defensive players who have to change their momentum to avoid hitting a LATE SLIDING QB.
But, when the only controversial calls go to the Chiefs, and when 1/3 of the commercials have Mahomes, Kelce, and/or Andy Reid, and the cameras are constantly showing Taylor Swift, you start to get the feeling you were NEVER going to have a chance to win. It wasn't just the bad calls, it was the momentum killing timing of calls, as well as ball spots so bad and frequent.
Might have something to do with the two missed FG's, missed Extra Point, 15 yard "throwing the helmet penalty"......AND THE 8 SACKS ALLOWED!!

The Texans were out coached. The offensive line pass blocking was horrible as it has been all season. In spite of that, the Texans might have had a chance to win if it wasn't for the two penalties for roughing Mahomes even though he was barely touched in both cases and he is the best at doing the late flop. To beat the Chiefs you have to play an almost perfect game and my Texans did not come close.
You nailed it, but you forgot the Texan's missed a extra point too.
Great analysis that no one else has mentioned. Thanks!
Great video explaining the REAL reason why the Texans lost.
Great take! I've not heard it through this lens and you make a ton of great points. And perhaps they should have fired the special teams coach instead of the player that was pissed at him
You forgot to mention the offensive line allowing the quarterback to be sacked repeatedly. What was it, 8 times? The coach and offensive coordinator did a lousy job calling plays, and the players did a lousy job executing. Across the board.

Were there a few bad, or missed calls by the refs? Certainly. There are every game. Did they cause the Texans to lose? No. The Texans just weren't up to the challenge. Which in all honesty, surprised me. They're a better team than what we all saw during that game.

No. Were those calls good? No. But that's not what ultimately lost the game for the Texans. This conversation is legitimate if the calls were in the final drive of a 1 possession game and the Texans have no way to recover. Otherwise, you're crying over 1 aspect of the game when there's at least 6 to 7 other things that were waaaay more influential to the outcome.
8 sacks didn't help Houston out either. Should have been a dozen if any holds were called.

As insignificant as it may seem compared to some of the other mistakes ,especially the missed field goal, I think the missed extra point was devastating. It just sucked the heart out of the team going right into the half. The bad calls definitely changed the course of the game but you just gotta expect that going into Kansas City unfortunately

Hurray for the late 4th quarter garbage time sacks. All hail the Chiefs!
I've watched the coach shove sequence about 40k times. I don't think he was mad. I think he was hyped and goofing. I think they both realized the misunderstanding in a reasonable amount of time. But the slow mo makes it look like he's living in terror for months. idk maybe everyone already thought this. I shouldn't have jumped on the tsk tsk bandwagon.

Also, they should've tried the fg before the 2min warning, as they had 2 time outs so they could've got the ball back even if the onside kick didnt work.
Yeah it seems like they didn't really have a plan for the 2 minute warning, they just rushed a play and that showed with the huge loss they had from it.

If the Texans are smart, they should bring in Ben Kotwika to coach special teams. I don't know why Denver got rid of him, and he was pretty damn good here in Washington.
really good analysis! GG
Even if those penalties were dismissed, Texans would've lost 12-13. How many times were Stroud sacked? How many times did they not score a touchdown on their drives? How many times did they miss the field goals? And how many times was their field goal block? It is sad, but the Texans weren't playing their best.
The Chiefs may have had something to do with that.
As a lifelong football junkie in my 50's, I've never seen a less impressive 15-1 team (not counting the season finale vs Denver). It's not that they won a game like this, it's that many games have played out like this. Which leads people to speculate on the integrity of the process. I expect them to win 2 more games in similar fashion. Time will tell.
Perfect analysis. Yes, those 2 penalties were bs. But it was these hidden special teams mistakes that cost them crucial field position.
KC invested in DST in the off season and it shows. They've been doing this all season. D, ST. 2 coaches.
No one would be yelling "rigged" in this game if it had not been a pattern all year. All year the number of hard to defend penalty calls, the timing giving extra possesions when the game is close, and the things not called against KC. The evidence is overwhelming.
Special teams is so often overlooked at a key part of the game. This spells it out pretty damn good. Gotta be sound.
Simple Answer: The Chiefs we're a better team.
Youre not gonna talk about the mahomes flop on the sideline or his slide that got a 15 yard penalty? That game sucked to watch. The game after they had more points in the first quarter lol
The faux roughing call on 3rd down; during the 3rd Q; gave the Chiefs 15 yards and new set of downs. Chiefs offense should have been off the field. Instead the penalty set them up for a touchdown. Hard to swallow. NFL has no shame.
The penalty didn't set them up for a TD. It gave them 15 yards and a 1st down. The defense can still make a play to stop them from scoring after both "faux" calls. What you and Texans fans are actually doing is admitting that you believe your defense or your team, for that matter, is not good enough to overcome to penalties that weren't even late in the game. And if that's the case, then the Texans were going to lose anyways and this conversation is null and void.
I meant to say "two" not "to" penalties.
There's a reason Andy Reid is one of the all-time top 3 coaches: He plays smart football.
The thing I keep screaming into the internet ether that nobody wants to hear is that only one of those 2 bad calls was even decisive. The first one saved them from 4th and long. The second one would’ve been somewhere around 2nd and 5. The penalties didn’t win them the game, even if they might not’ve been the right calls.

You're entirely correct about the game, but the officiating the entire year has been so suspiciously slanted in the Chiefs' favor that football fans are getting frustrated and aren't able to see the actual game between the bad calls. The NFL might be happy the Chiefs are winning, but they need to have some officiating conversations in the offseason, because no NFL team in history is this consistently lucky.
But why KC? Everyone thinks of it as fly over country. What makes them so special? Mahomes hasn't really played as dynamically, and the Taylor Swift drama has subsided.
I remember watching a bit of the Royals World Series in '14 and Joe Buck was clearly wanting them to lose. He didn't even hide his bias.
So it's just odd for the NFL to favor a city nobody seems to care about.
@@shatteredanis1592 Mahomes is a spokesman for State Farm insurance, a major NFL sponsor.

It's not about what football fans want. Essentially, the NFL is obsessed with getting non-NFL fans into the game. Swift got women watching, Butker (and others on the roster) excite conservatives, and Goodell keeps trying to get Europeans into American football. Those of us who care about the sport are sick of the Chiefs, but the NFL still thinks they're the ticket to draw more people in. For now, at least.

You're entitled to you opinions about Swift (they still point out every single game she's attending) or the NFL trying to get overseas fans (Goodell must have accidentally scheduled 5 overseas games this year, what a goof). My effort to offer some theories may be wasted on you, but you responded twice now, so thanks for the discourse "shattered anus." It's nice to have a fan. Have a good one.
Nice analysis.
Funny, the chiefs didn't miss any of their kicks in the same 17 mph wind. The chiefs ball didn't even slightly move to the left or right in the wind. Explain that one.
@0:20 not one, but TWO potential blocks in the back
Should have talked about the many false starts on 74 of the chiefs that wasn't called. Every possession the chiefs had.
Great video. Sadly haters will never see logic. Always easier to call Wolf and make accusations of cheating and rigging. So sad, people just can't stand the chiefs winning. But i all them this. If it was your team in this position, would you be saying the same thing. I highly doubt they would
Everybody's an analyst these days. I'm a Texans fan, but they lost. Get over it. Move on.
I think the NFL needs to look into Troy’s comments during the game. His remarks about the unnecessary roughness call I think got most of the tongues wagging about biased penalty calls! Players and coaches get fined for speaking their personal opinions about the penalties being called and on whom they call them on!
Ha Ha Ha!!! Let's all blame Aikman!!
How much of the Chiefs' success the past 3 years has been because of just consistently good special teams play? Maybe never the best team in the league, but NEVER the feature on the low-lights reel.
As a (former fan, late '50's - 2000) I know why and have known for years....Las Vegas.
Arrowhead beat the Texans as much as the Chiefs did. That place is a nightmare for a visitor this time of year. Unless you play there all the time the wind this time of year is impossible to understand, it's cold and LOUD. A warm weather dome team like the Texans were f**ked from the start. Same with the Eagles over LA. The snow beat LA.
I consider missed field goals (from 40 yds or further) and failed 4th down attempts as turnovers. The Texans had 4 possession changing plays or turnovers. The Chiefs had none. The calls were bad and I would love for the league to address it - but that is not why the Texans lost.
Texans made mistakes, but the refs directly influenced the outcome of this game.
@@RRCCTexas The refs definitely saved one drive that led to a score. The other one was a 4 yrd pick-up that got 15 yrds added. With how well the Texans were playing defense, you can't argue that the calls didn't make a difference.
Schultz had the worst game blocking ive ever seen
Well said. Very well said. High IQ football right here
Play smart, don't beat yourself. Sound football advice. I love seeing teams fail on 4th and shouldn't have gone for it, trust your defense, hell even your special teams. Do you have any idea how many times a muffed punt return has impacted a playoff game. Love seeing probability humble these 4th down and go for it coaches.
Texans oline. I agree nice video on why they lost.
Yes special teams are part of why the texans lost. They missed a field goal, they missed a PAT, they had a field goal blocked, they gave up 7 sacks in the 4th quarter and they were Kelce run wild on them all game.
Any o line is in trouble when your behind and forced to throw the ball...I agree you got to play better than the other team and over come bad calls but boy they quick to throw a flag i counted 9 bad calls and it didn't seem to be balanced each way for both teams we all now there the better team
Thank you. That’s all I’m saying. Those were bad calls but now people are exaggerating calls in the past too. Acting like that’s the only team that gets bad calls and that’s the reason they win. It’s ridiculous. There were two bad calls for kc. There were two bad calls for the ravens in their game too. Yet they didn’t win so nobody cares.
The Chief have only played one good, dominating game this season which was Pittsburgh on Christmas. It’s a mystery how they win games and are the #1 seed. I was at the Broncos game, and Bo Nix made Patrick look like the rookie. SMH
Was this the Broncos game where Mahomes didn't play & the Chiefs had their Pop Warner players in ?
texans fans know why texans lost, it’s not a surprising defeat. it’s more of chiefs fans acknowledging that their team can’t fully win a game without depending on the refs. not saying all chiefs fans because they’re some i respect, but most.
CJ Stroud isn't allowed to call timeouts on his own? That was huge 4th down play and they were all unorganized.
I would agree - Houston didn't look good...neither did KC for that matter but KC didn't torpedo themselves like Houston did. Having said that, there were AT LEAST 9 very questionable calls that went in KC's favor which makes it VERY difficult to call this a 'fair' game...nobody will ever know how those terrible calls in KC's favor would have affected the outcome, and the FACT is, if you've been watching KC all year like I have, you'd know this kind of special treatment for KC has been going on all season long. It's NOT sour grapes...when the opposition's head coach warns his team BEFORE the KC game that his guys are going up against BOTH the Chiefs AND the refs, there's a BIG problem.
