NFL fans are convinced that something fishy is going on after Patrick Mahomes was seen talking to head official Clay Martin in the Kansas City Chiefs-Las Vegas Raiders Black Friday game.
Like last year, the NFL refs have faced plenty of accusations of “rigging” games for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs here in 2024. And let’s just say that Martin did himself no favors by having a conversation with Mahomes during the first quarter of today’s Black Friday game:
As you would expect, football fans wasted no time teeing off on Martin and his officiating crew after this video went viral:
“Ref said I got you in fantasy today so we’ll Make sure you have a big game,” one fan said.
“How many calls you need today Pat?,” another said.
“i told you to tell me if they are getting close to me i know sir, im sorry sir just dont let it happen again,” one X/Twitter user said.
“Listen I gotta make it look somewhat close if I gave you every call people will catch on,” a fan said.

“I know… I know… You need our help. Don’t worry we’ve got you,” another user said.
“Yeah man I got you but don’t be so obvious we don’t want the fans knowing your helping us,” said a fan.

Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Are Aiming For A Three-Peat
No team in history has won three straight Super Bowls, but the Chiefs are already two-thirds of the way there. And as the owners of the AFC’s top seed, KC is looking at the task of needing just two home wins to get back to the big game.

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
