A fix means the outcome isn't in question.
The Steelers-Chiefs game last week is a perfect example of how it works. Chiefs dominate out of the gate and a defensive score turns it into a 28-0 rout. To avoid losing the TV audience, a phantom holding penalty wipes out the TD. More questionable calls assist the Steelers in getting a tie game. At that point, they call a fair game again and the Chiefs pull away. The outcome of the game remains the same, yet the score is closer than it should have been and the TV audience is secured. Mission accomplished.
