Eminent personality Rob Gronkowski has recently expressed severe skepticism regarding the third consecutive Super Bowl appearance of Kansas City Chiefs while suggesting that there might be some amount of preferential treatment going on for them from the NFL officials, reported US Weekly. In an exclusive interview with the US Weekly, Rob Gronkowski asserted that the Kansas City Chiefs seem to receive more lenient calls than the other teams while raising severe questions about the fairness of officiating in their games.

According to US Weekly, the controversy surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs has eventually intensified during the playoffs specifically following the questionable calls which benefited them in critical moments.

Adding onto that, tight end Travis Kelce was recently accused of flopping while leading to a penalty against a Buffalo Bills player.

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl LIX on the date of February 9 this year, several discussions about officiating bias continue to dominate conversations among the fans and analysts alike.
