So where is your story now? This seems to be a question that Chief recipient Deandre Hopkins, in his view, has led some “Touchy Calls” down the Philadelphia road instead of Kansas City.
After Hopkins dropped at least one pass, speaking to the media before collecting touchdowns after the game was decided, Hopkins challenged the media to keep the ref to the same standard. “It was my first year and I was with the Chief so I saw a lot about refs in the media, but…. . When there were many nasty calls, refs and about us now What are you going to say? Is y'all going to report it? Is Y'all going to talk about the reference now?”
There have been at least two suspicious calls to the game's chief. First, Trent McDuffy hit on the Dallas Gaedart, which made the Eagles automatically go down first.
There was then a penalty for Nick Bolton's late hit in the second important length.
Both calls were awful. McDuffy barely touched Gaedart. And Bolton's slow hit was something you never expect to be called unless you hit with QB.
But you live by the sword. You die with the sword.
The Chiefs benefited greatly from multiple “Touchy Calls” throughout the playoffs. Without those calls, they're unlikely to reach the Super Bowl. With that in mind, it's worrying to see Hopkins complain about these kinds of calls just because he didn't go down his path.
The Chiefs have climbed the Super Bowl in four of the last five years and live like a Vegas gambler that you can't miss. Continuously, they're ordering drinks, rolling dice, and watching the time they can ride lightning. Well, all the gamblers' luck and the chief's luck ran on Sunday night.
