When Patrick Mahomes was involved in what seemed to be a late hit, controversy broke out. There was some dispute on the accuracy of the call, but Mahomes was still within boundaries. Infuriating Chiefs supporters even more, a possible pass interference on a deep throw to Marquez Valdes-Scantling was not reported, which left them perplexed and angry.

A heated Hail Mary play in the endzone—a scenario notorious for its forgiving officiating—further escalated the argument. However, the fact that there was no signal at this critical juncture served to highlight the earlier dubious choices.

The Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco was the subject of yet another crucial error. Pacheco got into a heated argument with the Packers and was dismissed. To make matters even more complicated, a player was being pulled back into the field when an incorrect whistle indicated he had stepped out of bounds. This blunder, along with others that damaged the game’s officiating, incorrectly stopped the clock.

The results of the game were finally determined by actions made on the field, despite these disputes. The Packers, under the leadership of Jordan Love, took advantage of a game-changing interception that Mahomes threw to seal the victory. The Packers’ victory was largely due to Love’s ability to take advantage of the Chiefs’ mistakes.

In the end, execution was what really determined the result, even if the officiating crew was criticized for their calls in the closing moments of the game. At key junctures, the Packers executed their game plan beautifully, while the Chiefs stumbled and lost.

The game will be remembered for the exciting activity that took place on the field as well as the controversy that will undoubtedly lead to conversations over the quality of refereeing in the NFL.
