The Kansas City Chiefs are drawing comparisons to the New England Patriots for more than just their success on the field.
Their recent victory at Super Bowl LVIII marked the end of a nearly two-decade drought without a repeat champion in the NFL. The Chiefs clinched a thrilling victory against the San Francisco 49ers with a second-half comeback, sealing the win in overtime at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
However, it’s not just their victories that have caught people’s attention. One particular statistic has been making waves this week: despite facing three different defensive lineups in their three Super Bowl appearances, the Chiefs’ offensive line has remarkably never been called for a holding penalty against them.

This anomaly has raised eyebrows among fans, who couldn’t help but wonder if something suspicious was at play.
The drama of Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and the 49ers was further compounded by controversy surrounding the officiating crew. Many observers noted instances where 49ers player Nick Bosa appeared to be held without penalty, suggesting potential officiating inconsistencies.
This narrative isn’t going to go away anytime soon, especially when you see eye opening stats like this on your timeline.
