Andy Reid in defiant two-word response to claims Chiefs get favoritism from refs

ANDY Reid shared a short response to questions about the Kansas City Chiefs receiving help from the refs in the only way he could.

The Chiefs' three-time Super Bowl champion has thrown cold water about the alleged favoritism his franchise has been getting.

Reid appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday and was asked about the narrative that the Chiefs have been on the right side of numerous questionable decisions from officials in the playoffs.

Host Pat McAfee brought up the subject by making a joke about it.

"You and the refs are meeting like what, tonight, for the Super Bowl? Is that what's happening?" the former NFL punter-turned sports media pundit joked.

"Yeah, right," Reid said while chuckling.

"Listen I try not to pay attention to any of that stuff."

During the Chiefs' AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills, the game had its fair share of controversy.

There was a questionable spot late in the game that all but ended the Bills' hopes of winning.

Josh Allen seemed to get a first down on a fourth-down sneak play, but the refs ruled him short.

Even CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore believed that the spot was incorrect, insinuating that Buffalo should've been awarded the first down.

And a Xavier Worthy catch on the six-yard line that was deemed uncertain by a large amount of fans.

Moments later, the Chiefs scored a touchdown to extend their lead to 21-10 at the time.

The AFC Championship Game ref controversies came a week after fans also complained about the officials' decisions which helped the Chiefs during their Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans.

Kansas City will look to avoid any kind of officiating controversy in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles next month.

They will hope to earn their third straight Super Bowl title in New Orleans.

No team in NFL history has won three consecutive big games.

Mahomes will try to receive his fourth Super Bowl title and be just three victories away from tying the GOAT Tom Brady's mark.

His third consecutive win would be something Brady and his old coach Bill Belichick never achieved.

As for Reid, he posted his 28th career playoff win after the Chiefs' AFC Championship win.

The 66-year-old is just three away from Belichick's record of 31 for most ever for an NFL head coach.
