Many NFL fans view the Kansas City Chiefs as the most controversial team this postseason, with accusations of referee bias swirling around their games. However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is choosing to ignore the noise surrounding the issue.
Reid, who is chasing an unprecedented feat of winning three consecutive Super Bowl titles, has seen his team’s success somewhat overshadowed by questionable officiating calls in both of their playoff games. These calls, though highly debatable, ended up benefiting the Chiefs.
In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Reid was asked directly about the conspiracy theories suggesting the referees are rigging games in the Chiefs’ favor. As expected, Reid dismissed the topic, stating he tries not to pay attention to outside distractions.
“I try not to pay attention to any of that stuff,” Reid commented.
It’s understandable why Reid would steer clear of engaging with the controversy. As the Chiefs’ head coach, his focus needs to be on preparing his team to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, with the goal of making history. However, with officiating controversies dominating conversations ahead of the big game, it will be interesting to see how long Reid can avoid these tough questions as the Super Bowl approaches.
