Andy Reed is primarily interested in getting the Kansas City Chiefs' Sunday victory, but concerns about how the Super Bowl will host have also drawn his attention.

Reid argued that perceived favors create a “good story” but are not based on “reality.”
“That's a good story, but that's not the reality of how it works,” he added. “You'll insult them as you think that's what they're doing. They go out and they call it to see it. As a coach, I'll sit there And I don't agree with that. 'There are a few things I agree with.'

At a news conference in New Orleans earlier this week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell dismissed allegations that officials gave the Chiefs benefits.
“That's a ridiculous theory for anyone who might take it seriously,” Goodell said Monday. “It reflects the passion of many fans, and I think it's also the importance of justice for us. And I think the men and women who are hosting the NFL are outstanding.”

It appears that coming back late and bringing out a close victory was a distinctive feature of the Chiefs' season. In the AFC Championship Game victory over the Buffalo Bills, the referee caused contagion when he dominated quarterback Josh Allen inch outside his key first down in the fourth quarter.

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt also messed up the idea that the Back-to-Back Super Bowl champion received priority treatment from the referee.
The NFL Judges Association described the criticism as “inhumanity and ridiculous.”
