I don't think anyone is blaming the officials, but the NFL has got a problem with consistency of officiating. When you watch the Packers game, for the most part unless it was egregious, they were allowed to play. Last night, it was effectively the opposite. If multiple people are saying the same thing, then it's a thing. When one team plays aggressive man coverage a lot, and the other plays more zone, it creates an imbalance if you call every innocuous contact. In many games I've seen that PI on Evans get uncalled, as it was incidental contact. The holding on the INT was the lamest example of holding I've seen, especially compared to what TB and GB got away with in the NFC championship.
KC lost that game in the 1st qtr when it was so obvious they couldn't protect Mahomes. But the officiating ensured it was all over by half time. It's the biggest game of the season, one the NFL wants to be a showcase; the officiating shouldn't get a mention except to compliment how good it is. Not the case last night.
