The only sample size so far this postseason is the Chiefs’ 23–14 win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round, when Patrick Mahomes received two favorable calls worth 15-yard penalties apiece en route to his team’s playoff victory.

Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs refused to answer questions about questionable penalties that benefited the Chiefs in their playoff win over the Texans.

On the "Pat McAfee Show", Texans legend JJ Watt talked about these calls. The former Texans pass-rusher said that the discussion around the calls were "justified", but ultimately these calls did not cause his former team to lose to the Chiefs.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes disagreed with some Houston Texans' defender's beliefs that he gets favorable calls from NFL officials. Following the Chiefs' 23-14 win over the Texans in the Divisional Round in which Texans' defenders were penalized twice for hits on Mahomes, the officials drew some ire.

"I think there were a lot of other plays that decided the outcome of that football game," Mahomes said of the controversial calls.

Despite rampant criticism from fans from rival fan bases, quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he doesn't think the Kansas City Chiefs receive more favorable calls than other NFL teams.

Patrick Mahomes was just a young hotshot when he led the Chiefs to the first of their seven straight AFC title games.

“I don’t feel that way,” Mahomes said Wednesday in his first media availability ahead of Sunday’s AFC title game against Buffalo, where the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs will try to earn a chance at a three-peat.

As usual, officiating is a major storyline in the NFL playoffs. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are at the center of it. The conversation's gotten so loud around the Chiefs that Mahomes was asked to address it during a local radio interview in Kansas City with 96.

The NFL could further tweak its replay-assist system in the offseason to deal with plays like Saturday’s penalized hits on the Chiefs quarterback.

The Texans on Saturday get an opportunity to do what only three teams before them have done in the NFL playoffs: Stop KC Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
