Social media in an uproar over controversial Bills-Chiefs call
The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are playing another classic playoff game. The The AFC Championship game goes back and forth and Buffalo had a chance to extend the lead to one point. Josh Allen went for a KB sneak on 4th and 1, which looked like he had it. But an immediate review of the replay confirmed that the seat was less than the first line. Social media has created an uproar over NFL referees and the alleged preferential treatment of chiefs.
The play was awfully close and didn’t go the way of Buffalo. That led fans still believe the NFL wants the Chiefs to win this game and every game until they win another Super Bowl.
@SquarePeg61 answered the question whether he got it or not. “Usually, yes. However, they are playing the Chiefs, so no.”

@49erfan012 he thinks he knows how the game will end, “He 100% gets that first one. This is where the fitting really begins. They will call it in favor of the bosses and make it impossible for the lawmen to recover with more penalties down the road.”
@Hardin89John gone is the sarcasm route, “Gosh, I’m shocked they called it 4th and 1 in favor of the Chiefs.”
The Bills were up 22-21 when it came down to fourth down. The Chiefs recovered the ball, scored a touchdown and hit a two-point conversion that gave them a seven-point lead. While the two teams kept shooting, this call is one that everyone will remember from this game.
The Chiefs and Bills played classic, but the refs stepped into the middle with this call. Had they called it a first down, Buffalo might have been ready to go to New Orleans.
