That’s a bullshit unnecessary roughness call against Houston. Mahomes stood there waiting to get hit and dropped to the ground as the tackle was coming in. It’s ridiculous.

Defenders might as well headhunt Mahommes if he's gonna do this BS and get the calls.

And then the absurd dive crap.

I was thinking the same thing. If you’re gonna get flagged every time you touch him anyway, you might as well make it count.

I've started to come around to the idea of QBs not being protected as a runner past the line of scrimmage. It should be on them to protect themselves and avoid contact just like anyone else.

Yeah those injuries were just too much for Detroit.
Well, injuries had nothing to do with 5 turnovers. Bit of a choke job, coaching staff included on that 4th down 12 men on the field no timeout debacle. Rubbish from the NFC North, bunch of paper tigers.

Even Spurs can't ruin today after watching Washington get to the NFC Championship game for the first time in 33 years. 🥳

You can come on down now Ben Johnson, the hot seat is yours!

Fair play to the Commanders but Detroit were the architects of their downfall and you can’t commit 5 turnovers in a Divisional playoff and expect to go through.

On another note, completely echo the sentiment on the officiating with the Chiefs which is routinely skewed in their favour.

Kudos to Dan Quinn and his coaching staff in sticking with what they do best rather than try to be funky, why on earth did Johnson and co go away from the run game with Gibbs that was tearing up the Commanders' D.

Note re Dan Q - People were laughing when Harris and Peters hired him having seen the playoff debacle of the Dallas defence against Green Bay. Maybe Jerry should have fired McCarthy then and kept Dan, thankfully he did not and I am getting to watch a NFC divisional game after 33 years where I have interest.

Refereeing has been ropey all season, even the face mask call that was called on Detroit's last drive where it was clear that there was no contact with the face mask. They have officials who can tell the ref to pick up the flag so why not?

PM's flop was shameful after having conned two penalties earlier, should have been flagged for unsportsmanlike. They need full time officiating crews, but the NFL won't cover the cost.
