Refs took off 4 points...two FS penalties on KC kicks. They also ignored a FS when LA converted a 4th and 1...which would have ended an eventual TD drive.
That's 11 points just from calling and "non-calling" three false starts at timely moments. This is how the NFL "massages" games...luckily Buttkicker defied them...
They had two "ticky-tack" holding calls when the Chiefs looked to be ending the game....again at crucial moments.
It was pretty obvious the NFL wanted the Chargers to win in their first game a SO-FI....
Raiders are opening their stadium tomorrow...something to keep an eye on.
