Bills fan goes all-out in latest social media conspiracy theory
One Bills fan put the alleged referee bias in the Bills-Chiefs AFC Championship game on blast.
An X user put together a five-minute video showing a series of questionable calls in Kansas City’s 32-29 win in the conference championship clash, which took place at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
“If u haven’t seen this video u probably should. Just shows how rigged the nfl is,” the X user wrote.
The now-viral clip is making waves on social media and joins the other floating theories that the referees allegedly gave the Chiefs favorable calls.
Some said the voice in the clip and the footage appears doctored.
The most crucial judgement call came when line judge Patrick Holt spotted the ball short of the line on the Bills’ fateful fourth-down play after Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen attempted to sneak for one yard while leading, 22-21, early in the fourth quarter.
Holt placed the ball short of the marker, and video replay upheld the ruling.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was furious about the call, which he said ruined his $1 million Bills Super Bowl bet.
“This is the most disgusting thing,” he said in a video on X. “I’m not watching football ever again. I quit football. I quit.”
The Bills had plenty of chances to break their playoff losing streak to the Chiefs, which dates back to 2021.
With less than four minutes remaining, Allen launched a game-saving pass to Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid, who dropped it on fourth-and-5.
The Bills’ defense couldn’t stop Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Kansas City’s final drive en route to the victory.
Allen completed 18-of-26 passes for 237 yards and two scores. He also had 11 carries for 39 yards.
The Chiefs are chasing a historic three-peat after consecutive wins against the Eagles and the 49ers in the last two Super Bowls.
Kanas City and Philadelphia will meet in Super Bowl 2025 on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
