\"NFL<\/p>\n

Either controversial penalties or blatant no-calls have been a recurring theme of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Seemingly every week the team and quarterback Patrick Mahomes benefits in some way from a debatable penalty call against the opposing defense or when referees swallow their whistle when it’s obvious to nearly everyone watching the game that a penalty should’ve been called.<\/p>\n

So with so much heat on the NFL and its referees for its apparent favoritism of Mahomes and the Chiefs, The Ringer NFL analyst Warren Sharp was quick to point out that the head of the officiating crew for Sunday’s matchup between the Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders (with Kansas City’s undefeated record on the line) has a track record of calling games in favor of quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

“This game was circled by the NFL, and you want to know what their reaction was? It was to put Adrian Hill as referee on this game when the time came,” Sharp said. “You know what Adrian Hill leads the NFL in? Roughing-the-passer penalties. Yup, he’s No. 1. He’s also No. 1 in neutral-zone penalties on the pass-rush. He’s also No. 2 in overall defensive penalties.”<\/p>\n
