The NFL has made a decision on the referees who took charge of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs are through to another Super Bowl after a marginal 32-29 win that, unsurprisingly, was not free of controversy.
The refs have come under scrutiny for a questionable call after ruling that Josh Allen did not get a first down after the Bills decided to go for it with a quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter, although replays appeared to show that the QB did get the ball past the line.
NFL fans have been calling for the officials to be fired, with Barstool Sports owner suggesting that they should go to prison. However, the NFL appears to be backing lead referee Clete Blakeman and his crew.
According to Pro Football Talk, the league didn’t even make a head official available to a pool reporter following the contest.
