‘Fix is in’ – Fans claim Chiefs will be in Super Bowl as Patrick Mahomes smashes NFL record
Patrick Mahomes is two wins away from leading the first three-peat of the Super Bowl era. Fresh off back-to-back titles, the Kansas City Chiefs juggernaut has hit full steam. Mahomes is looking for a fourth Super Bowl victoryGetty Going 15-2 in the regular season despite not playing their best, the Chiefs overpowered the Houston Texans 23-14 in their first playoff outing. The formidable Buffalo Bills, who beat Mahomes & Co. in Week 11, are up next in the AFC Championship game. After seeing off Lamar Jackson‘s Baltimore Ravens, Josh Allen will be confident of reaching the Super Bowl for the first time. But fans are adamant that NFL bosses will not let that happen after the Chiefs broke a broadcast record in their win over the Texans. Some 32.7million viewers tuned in to see Mahomes in action – the most who have ever watched an NFL game on ESPN going all the way back to 1987. People were already accusing the refs of helping the Chiefs during Saturday’s contest and had a warning for Allen’s Bills. “The worst game has the most viewers. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Kansas City gets the calls,” said one fan. “That’s 32.7M viewers who saw the refs in their bag,” added a second. “Yeah there’s zero chance the NFL is going to let the Chiefs lose next week with the Swifties tuning in. The fix is in again,” a third wrote to drag Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend Taylor Swift into the conspiracy. “It’s all a set up. You have Taylor Swift and now Caitlin Clark at the games? Lol. Yea the NFL is gonna cash on this have the Chiefs win the Super Bowl again,” a fourth wrote with WNBA superstar Clark next in line for scrutiny after joining Swift in her box. Swift and Clark watched the Chiefs’ win togetherGetty Mahomes and Allen have already met three times in the postseasonGetty Chiefs supporters had an alternative explanation for the record numbers. “They tuning in now just to see if we lose… Haters watch the hardest,” said one. “Hate watch is at an all time high. You love to see it,” added another. The Chiefs’ record will be safe until September at least as ESPN does not have the rights to the Conference Championship games or Super Bowl. Fox Sports is showing the Washington Commanders‘ battle against the Philadelphia Eagles to be crowned NFC champions. Viewers can tune in to CBS to catch the Bills take on their AFC rival Chiefs, the officials’ latest alleged misdeeds, or look out for Swift in the stands – depending on preference. Mahomes may not need any extra help. While he lost out in the regular season, the Chiefs sensation is 3-0 against Allen in the playoffs. Victory on Sunday would mark the first time a quarterback has ever beaten another four consecutive times in the postseason. Mahomes seemed to know the script all along, telling Allen ‘we’ll do it again baby’ after Week 11. “Given our history, we tend to meet in the playoffs,” said the Bills star after the win. “Again, we’re not there yet, we’ll focus on that when we get there.” Whether it’s out of love or hate, there will be lots of eyeballs focused on the game.
