This, from an article I read....
“The NFL just did something really sneaky for the AFC championship game and they're hoping that nobody notices,” he said. “They've obviously heard all of the chatter about how the league and the referees love Mahomes. They love the Chiefs, they get every call. So they went ahead and assigned Clete Blakeman as the head official for this game.
“The Chiefs are just 5-6 straight up with Blakeman as the referee. Now remember over the last several years this team has not done much losing. So to me, it's a little bit odd that they chose one of the only referees that they have a below .500 record with.
“On top of this, he's in the minority of referees that don't play to the home team. 54% of his penalties get called against the home team, which is unusual. And home teams in his game this season went 5-11 straight up. Now on the other side, the Bills are 6-2 straight up when Blakeman is a referee.”
