Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. called it “us against the refs” in a 23–14 divisional round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 18, but Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who took three sacks in that game, won’t accept the referee narrative as valid.
“I don’t feel that way,'' Mahomes told reporters on Wednesday. “The referees are doing their best to call the game as fair and as proper as they possibly can. And all you can do is go out there and play the game that you love as hard as you can and live with the results. ... I think that’s what we preach here in Kansas City.”
