The cynics who think the NFL is doing the Kansas City Chiefs favors week after week are having a field day during the Divisional Round game with the Houston Texans.
There was a roughing the passer penalty questioned in the first half. And in the fourth quarter a personal foul was widely debated as to why a flag was thrown.

The drive continued and Patrick Mahomes was falling to the turf as he threw a pass that ended in the hands of the great Travis Kelce for a touchdown.
After the PAT, the Super Bowl champs led 20-12.
Unbelievable.

Troy Aikman on the ESPN broadcast disagreed with the penalty call.
More from Aikman.
"He's trying to draw the penalty. Rather than just run out of bounds, he slows down. And that's been the frustration and I get it. I understand it. That's been the frustration for these defensive players around the league." https://t.co/rzfAXSaz6o pic.twitter.com/LilHhaI2Bh
