NFL fans are convinced that the Kansas City Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘Monday Night Football’ game was rigged following several suspicious and fishy moments.

Three specific moments led to the “rigged” accusations from fans in Monday night’s thriller between the Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs. For starters, fans questioned why Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles opted for an extra point inside the final minute instead of a game-winning two-point conversion attempt.

Hence, all the calls that the game was “rigged” in favor of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs:

The Bucs kept the game closer than expected, but Patrick Mahomes had another field day for the Chiefs with 291 yards passing and three touchdowns. Hunt (106 rushing yards, one touchdown), Travis Kelce (14 catches for 100 yards) and DeAndre Hopkins (eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns) also proved too much for Tampa Bay

Kansas City Chiefs Move To 8-0 Following Nailbiting Victory

The Chiefs’ 30-24 win over Mayfield and company moved them to 8-0 on the season. The NFL’s last remaining undefeated team just keeps on finding new ways to win, and it’s clear they remain the team to beat with the postseason slowly approaching.
