Pereira is wrong objectively. Not helpful. In real time they looked like penalties because they were. Hitting a QB above the shoulders; lowering the heads on the other. The Texans were implying before the game they would be screwed so as to set up a ready excuse for their coach. The Chiefs have been penalized more than any other team in the Mahomes era. Have had more TDs taken away. Which is why we vent here. But in the end, if you let Mariotta catch his own pass, or Luck recover a fumble for TDs, your team is to blame for L. Or say, play special teams like KU against KSU.

While the judges of these scores would of course be affiliated with the NFL I do think it'd do a bit to mitigate concerns after a game.

The calls in question are such thin gruel for this subject though. Throwing a helmet, whacking the ST coach? Nobody is talking about that when comparing numbers.

I agree with the holding on the Texans which is interesting because this crew had the reputation for calling lots of holds.

And the Chiefs still had 8 sacks and lots of hurries. No excuses, they just kept coming.
