They’re one of the teams with big success through the decades and it seems like they get pretty favorable treatment from the refs.

I've never really hated teams solely based on one being better than the other... if it wasn't for the early internet days of obnoxious Broncos fans in the 90s, I'd barely acknowledge their existence given how irrelevant one or both teams have been since then. Same for the Raiders and Chargers (since I'm too young to have witnessed the real Raiders rivalry).
The Bengals are really the only team that's over-reached in the Mahomes era (and not just fans, like all the reeruned Bills trolls), basically begging the world to hate them.
