Kansas City Chiefs fans are already convinced that their Week 16 home game vs. the Houston Texans has already been “rigged” against them.

The 13-1 Kansas City Chiefs will inch a step closer to the AFC’s top seed and first-round bye with a victory over the Texans. However, there’s a good possibility they’ll be without star quarterback Patrick Mahomes as he recovers from an ankle sprain.

Although the game is still three days away, Chiefs fans are already complaining that the league may “fix” it in Houston’s favor. The reason? Veteran NFL official Carl Cheffers will be the referee in this game.

Nonetheless, fans are already accusing the league of fixing the Texans-Chiefs game with Cheffers serving as the referee:

“Refs will help play against KC. What else is new. Oh well the Chiefs are winning it despite the bad calls, as they always do,” wrote another.

“Welp, it was a nice run, boys. I wonder what clown show antics we’ll see?,” asked another.

“It’s nice that Carl Cheffers will be screwing over the Chiefs for once instead of us!,” a fan wrote.

Kansas City Chiefs Own NFL’s Best Record

With the Detroit Lions falling to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the Chiefs (13-1) are in sole possession of the best record in football. They’re two games up on Buffalo for the AFC’s top seed, needing just two more wins to ensure that the AFC runs through Arrowhead.
