Chiefs fans were absolutely furious at the refs after questionable calls led to a Bucs touchdown

The Kansas City Chiefs are no strangers to playing from behind in postseason games. Last year, they mounted double-digit comebacks in every game en route to the Super Bowl title. They’ve been in this situation before.

But Sunday’s Super Bowl LV matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the Chiefs especially frustrated with the officiating. And for good reason.

The Buccaneers went into the locker room up 21-6 at halftime after a pair of defensive pass interference penalties set up an Antonio Brown touchdown just before half.

The first call — a 34-yard penalty — appeared to be incidental contact, at most, on a pass that Mike Evans wasn’t going to reach.

The second pass interference call occurred in the end zone on Tyrann Mathieu, which was a questionable penalty as well. Mathieu was visibly upset on the bench over the call.

The calls had Chiefs fans (and most viewers at home) upset with how involved the officials have made themselves in this game. The Bucs were only called for one penalty for five yards in the first half. The Chiefs, on the other hand, were called for eight penalties for 95 yards.
