Let's be honest. We've seen Mahomes get rocked in games before. What was different in last night's Super Bowl? The officials didn't ride to the Chiefs rescue. (They did once with the shaky OPI call in Q1, but gave the Eagles a makeup call.) What happened to the mysterious defensive holding calls, roughing the passer calls, defensive PI calls? Throw a few of those in last night and do we have a different game? Or did Roger get on the special red phone last night and told the refs Mahomes was no longer "made"?
There is a story behind this but I doubt anyone in sports media wants to dig into it.
