Chiefs' Penalty Record: Exposing the Truth Behind NFL Favoritism Claims

Chiefs Penalty Analysis: Debunking the 'Special Treatment' Myth

By: Joseph Correa

In the passionate world of NFL fandom, perceptions can often overshadow reality. A persistent narrative has emerged in recent years: the Kansas City Chiefs, particularly their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, receive preferential treatment from NFL officials. But does this claim stand up to scrutiny? Let's dive into the numbers and expert opinions to separate fact from fiction.

The Controversial No-Call

The debate reignited following a primetime game against the Atlanta Falcons, where Chiefs DB Bryan Cook appeared to commit pass interference against Falcons TE Kyle Pitts. The no-call sparked outrage among fans and reignited claims of favoritism. However, isolated incidents rarely tell the whole story.

By the Numbers

Let's take a look at the numbers. Since Mahomes took the helm in 2018, the Chiefs' penalty record paints a surprising picture:

Sixth Most Penalized Team: The Chiefs have accumulated 659 penalties, ranking them 6th in the NFL for most infractions.

Super Bowl Seasons:

2019 (SB LIV win): 18th most penalties (107)

2020 (SB LV loss): 4th most penalties (105)

2022 (SB LVII win): 87 offensive penalties

2023 (SB LVIII win): Tied for 6th most penalties (126)

Last Season: In 12 out of 17 games, the Chiefs were flagged more than their opponents, exceeding the league average.

The Mahomes Factor

Critics often point to Mahomes having the most interceptions overturned by penalties since 2018. However, context is crucial. As NFL analyst John Johnson explains, "Mahomes has attempted more passes than any other quarterback in that timeframe. It's a volume stat that doesn't necessarily indicate favoritism."

Expert Opinions

Dr. Sarah Thompson, a sports psychology professor at the University of Kansas, offers insight into the perception of favoritism: "Fans tend to remember controversial calls that benefit star players more vividly. This 'availability bias' can lead to a skewed perception of preferential treatment, even when the data suggests otherwise."

Former NFL referee Mike Davis adds, "In my experience, top players might get the benefit of the doubt in borderline situations, but that's true across all sports. It doesn't explain away the Chiefs' success or their penalty numbers."

The Chiefs' Perspective

In a recent press conference, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the controversy: "We focus on playing within the rules. Penalties are part of the game, and we've had our fair share. Our success comes from hard work and execution, not from any special treatment."

Conclusion

While the debate over officiating in the NFL is unlikely to subside, the numbers tell a compelling story. The Chiefs' penalty record suggests they're far from immune to flags, and their success under Mahomes appears to be a product of exceptional talent and coaching rather than favorable officiating.

As fans, it's natural to scrutinize every call, but looking at the bigger picture is equally important. The Chiefs' journey to the top of the NFL has been paved with penalties, challenges, and hard-fought victories – a testament to their resilience and skill in a league where nothing comes easy.

CONCERNING KYLE SHANAHAN

CONCERNING KYLE SHANAHAN

I feel sorry for Kyle Shanahan. I too had a barrier that to me was absolutely necessary to break through but seemed insurmountable. It almost destroyed me, but I broke through. My barrier also, as Shanahan's may well do too, involved the figure of a father -- not a successful one like Kyle's father, Mike, but one who resented and could not handle my success (getting a Ph D and being called "Doctor") at some level in his psyche.

Some things need to be spelled out and we need to figure out how we can deal with them in the best, perhaps only, way possible.

1. we need to win a SB in the next couple of years, otherwise the great legacy of the 80s and 90s will be lost. Even though we went 5-0, we still have twinges about the NFC title game v the New York Giants that we lost before they went on to beat the Buffalo Bills and started that terrible legacy for them we seem to be getting to close to ourselves for comfort.

2. we need to do this without the absolute buy in of Jed York who is just happy with a winning season

3. we cannot go to another SB and lose. Kyle Shanahan cannot go to another SB and lose, it will be bad for us but very very bad for him. We cannot allow him to get to the SB and not win. Going to SB LVIII and losing was not good. Losing how he did (hello deja vu) was worse, going there embarrassingly unprepared was worst of all -- but also made it as clear as day that to win with Kyle, an intervention needs to be made, because ...

4. Kyle Shanahan is not going anywhere. Colin Cowherd shocked me by saying he thought Shanahan managed the game really well and made the right play calls! Such is his aura with some pundits and analysts, that they just miss-see things.

5. Kyle Shanahan is not going to win us a 6th SB if left to his own devices. This is as plain as day. And he will most likely get us to another SB, and if not Mahomes it will be against another top top AFC quarterback (who beat Mahomes en route).

6. If Shanahan is helped to win himself a first SB and give us our 6th, you would not be wise to rule out a 2nd/7th and more to follow.

7. There is a sense in which Shanahan is both 0-3 at the SB, but also, in a peverse way 3-0. Did he lose to Andy Reid twice, or lose to himself twice? So if he lost to himself twice, he won twice. Same story with the Atlanta 28-3 fiasco. The other Kyle who beats the one we see losing in finals is that split-off self he needs to integrate. We need to help him to do this. We need to help him to change. Let's think about how this bad cycle started. What got lost in the 28-3 disaster v the Patriots was that he was destroying Brady and the Patriots, the supreme SB winning team organization 28-3 going into the third quarter. Would he ever coach/co-ordinate/play call with such confidence and so innovatively/positively/aggressively in a SB (or NFC title game, for that matter, again)? What were our fears going into SB LVIII regarding Kyle's coaching and game management? Were we scared he would disregard risk and go aggressive, using our known strengths in pushing the envelope, going full on Napoleon at Austerlitz against Andy Reid? Or were we scared he would be inhibited, risk-averse and err on the side of conservatism and all things vanilla (with a few over-thought tricks thrown in)? You cannot go conservative against Patrick Mahomes, but you also need to be blend what is innovative and will take by surprise with what works for us, with what we are good at. A sign of how this conservatism fails is that it produces initial dominance, the dominance fails to produce points on the board, it gets countered by the opponent, they put crucial points on the board and it is all over and we are the team of what ifs.

8. The 49ers, judging by social

media, are becoming despised by opposing fanbase because of us losing and droning on about what ifs. We are starting to surpass the Cowboys as the team America loves to hate. This is not good at all. Suddenly, out of nowhere we have extended existing rivalries and developed new ones. And yet we have nothing to feel absolutely good about, and our rival fans, especially the all-new bitter ones (the Eagles fans) know this. The downfall from this unwarranted confidence bordering on pn arrogance has delighted rival fans and been a boon for therapists getting hired to address the horrible feeling Niners fans have that their team are not going to win anything that matters (and in the NFL, unlike in English and World football, there is only one trophy that matters, in terms of which everything gets evaluated). If the team loses then inevitablg fans are to see it as a mirror of their own life failures.

9. Kyle has to change. For us and for himself. Change his practice and change his mindset. Otherwise this marriage is going to go off the rails completely.

Last night, my father and I were lucky enough to see and meet the Philadelphia Eagles’ legendary play-by-play announcer Merrill Reese at Lower Merion High School for Main Line School Night. This will go down as one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We began the night by singing and rooting the Eagles’ Fight song. He absolutely loved it. He’s about to enter his 47th season as the voice of the Birds. He talked about his early life, how he got the job, and what’s he’s been doing since. He discussed the good people and the not-so-good people he worked with, including Dick Vermeil and Bill Campbell. He took a moment to acknowledge late legendary Phillies announcer Harry Kalas and Chris Wheeler not contacting each other for 10 years at the time of Kalas’ death. Also, the most heartbreaking and exciting moments in franchise history, including the controversial Holding call that cost us Super Bowl LVII, the Miracle at the Meadowlands and Super Bowl LII. For the latter, the call for the fans who waited so long and so patiently for: “The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions! Eagles fans everywhere, this is for you! Let the celebration begin!” He loves watching the Phillies and the 76ers as long as the Sixers are in the playoffs. He roots for them, too. When he finished talking, I raised my hand and was handed a 🎤 by one of the ladies associated with MLSN and asked him if he knew fellow Philadelphia sportscasting legend Gene Hart, the voice of the Flyers. Before that, I complimented him for still going and being such an inspiration. I told him that I’ve been a fan of commentary. He was so kind in telling me the story of how Gene used to be an elementary school teacher prior to becoming a broadcaster. They both used to go out to dinner with a friend of theirs in Jersey. And get this: Gene Hart’s wife Sarah Detwiler used to ride Atlantic City’s Diving Horse at the Steel Pier Diving Horses attraction.🏇 After the Q&A was over, I lined up with my dad and we got our photo taken with Merrill. He signed his autograph on my Eagles cap, and it’s hanging in my bedroom. Hopefully, we’ll come back next year and win SB LVIII. Go 🦅! #flyeaglesfly🏈💚 (at Lower Merion High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGsH3fvhzb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SB LVIII: Andy Reid’s title march 

LAS VEGAS - Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has been there and done that. Reid celebrated with his team after leading the Chiefs to a 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.  The win gives Reid and the Chiefs three NFL championships in the last five years. Kansas City has made four appearances in the Super Bowl under Reid’s watch. Reid is now 3-1 in Super Bowl games since he has been head coach of the Chiefs.

Freeman/News4usonline Those wins came against San Francisco (twice) and against the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that Reid used to coach. Reid won 130 games for the Eagles and guided teams to five NFC Championships during his tenure.  The only thing missing on Reid’s resume at the time was winning a Super Bowl. He doesn’t seem to have that problem as coach of the Chiefs Under Reid’s watch, Kansas City has played in four of the last five Super Bowls.  In beating the Niners, Reid and the Chiefs have strung together back-to-back championships, something that is somewhat of an out-of-body experience for the Kansas City coach. “It’s a little bit surreal. Back-to-back is rare for this football team and this organization,” Reid said. “I don’t know what a dynasty is. You guys have the thesaurus, so you can figure it out. It’s a great win because I know how hard it is to do and how hard the season was. The ups and downs of the season and how proud I am of the guys for just hanging with each other and staying positive with each other.”  “The young guys grew up, and nobody ever pointed fingers at the offense when the offense was growing. It all kind of came together during the playoffs and worked out well. Great leaders in Patrick , Chris , and Trav , the job that they’ve done,” Reid added. “They’re passionate players, and I love that, even if they chest bump me to the other side of the 50. I appreciate it. I just love that the guy wants to play and wants to be in there playing. He knows I love that, so he makes me feel young.”  Reid has posted an overall mark of 3-2 in the Big Game if you count his lone appearance in the Super Bowl as the former head coach of the Eagles. What a difference a team makes.  Reid is beloved and warmly embraced in Kansas City. Reid was run out of Philadelphia after not producing a Super Bowl winner. He knows what winning football means. He understands the building of a winning tradition.  After seeing quarterback Patrick Mahomes doing Patrick Mahomes as he led Kansas City on an improbable drive to lead his team to victory in the extra session, Reid talked to reporters about how tough it is to win one title, let alone to play in multiple championship games.  "Listen, I mean, this is a tough profession, which we all know, is competitive,” Reid said. “I mean, the parity in this league is ridiculous. And so, to watch your guys work and focus and all that, I mean, you just appreciate – I think the older you get, you probably appreciate that also. I mean, I appreciate the first one because it took me a thousand years to get into a Super Bowl."  “At least being able to hold that Lombardi Trophy. I appreciate every day that I have to do this. I work for a great owner and ownership family. Between Mark Donovan, Veach and myself, we’re lucky to be Kansas City Chiefs. And so, that part feels good. And then, we have a good locker room and we have good coaches,” he added. 

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid speaks to reporters after leading his team to a 35-31 win against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. The win against the Eagles in 2023 was the first of two straight for Reid and the Chiefs. Kansas City has now secured back-to-back Super Bowl victories. Photo credit: Dennis J. Freeman/News4usonline The Chiefs are repeat Super Bowl champions because of the improbable playmaking of Mahomes, and the timeliness of their defense. Reid, however, is the one who makes it all go for the Chiefs.  “He’s one of the best coaches of all time. I believe he's the best coach of all time,” Mahomes said. “I know he didn't have the trophies yet and I have a lot of respect for some of those great coaches. But the way he's able to navigate every single team he has, continue to have success no matter where he's at.”  “He brings out the best of me because he lets me be me. I think that's important, is he doesn't try to make me anyone else. I don't think I'd be the quarterback that I am if I didn't have Coach Reid being my head coach. And other than that, he wants to be the best person you can be. And that's something that I think is truly special,” Mahomes added.   Read the full article
