“The Chiefs have been cheating for years and the NFL helps them..” Normal Dude: “Really?” “Yep, and the refs have been favoring them for years!” Normal Dude: “Ok, so I can look into how many penalties are called against them, and how many are called against their opponents” “They actually already track that, it’s called Penalty Differential” Normal Dude: “And how much better are the Chiefs in that stat than the rest of the league?” “Well they are actually the 2nd worst in the league in the last 7 years…” Normal Dude: “Oh…. Ok” “But it’s not about how many penalties, it’s about when the penalties are called” Normal Dude: “ok, like to extend a drive? Does anyone track those penalties? “Yes they do.” Normal Dude: “And how far ahead are the Chiefs in that one?” “Well they are actually ranked 22nd in the NFL during the Dynasty’s run..” Normal Dude: “Hmm…” “But forget that, the penalties have directly led to their Super Bowl wins!” Normal Dude: “Okay, do they track Penalty differential for those SB teams as well?” “They sure do!” Normal Dude: “And how do the Chiefs differential compare to other SB winners?” “Well from 2017-2024, they were the only SB winner with a Negative penalty differential…” Normal Dude: “So out of 8 SB winners they were the only team to win it with a negative differential once? “Actually they had a negative differential for all 3 SB wins..” Normal Dude: “Hmm…” “But it’s more about the penalties that happen, but never get called” Normal Dude: “Ok…. And where do the Chiefs rank in that statistic?” “No one actually tracks it, because it’s too subjective… but I’ve seen a lot of trolls and haters post clips on X.” Normal Dude: “Sure… (stifles a laugh) that sounds real! 😂”
