NFL fans are convinced that the Kansas City Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘Monday Night Football’ game was rigged following several suspicious and fishy moments.
Three specific moments led to the “rigged” accusations from fans in Monday night’s thriller between the Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs. For starters, fans questioned why Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles opted for an extra point inside the final minute instead of a game-winning two-point conversion attempt.
Secondly, fans noticed Baker Mayfield’s strange reaction to Kansas City winning the overtime coin toss:
Todd Bowles sticking to the script 🧑🦯

Proud effort. But Bowles defence can’t get the crucial stop. Bs false start on Taylor play beofre. Playing the chiefs is fixed for them to win with refs.

Fire Bowles right now. Absolutely pathetic coward.
And the NFL must get this officiating bs fixed, Chiefs jumped early on that key okay, but the Bucs may as well have forfeited in regulation

Secondly, fans noticed Baker Mayfield’s strange reaction to Kansas City winning the overtime coin toss, allowing them to get the ball first and drive down the field for the game-sealing score:

They didn’t show the coin to baker when they were doing coin toss for overtime. Rigged asf. Also, have you guys notice that every overtime game this year, in the coin toss, it’s always heads? #NFL

Baker calls tails and the official flips the coin over, land heads. Am I overthinking this, or is it too blatantly obvious to be anything??? @Buccaneers @NFL @NFLOfficiating @ESPNNFL pic.twitter.com/GfLLz22iJp

And finally, Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor got away with a blatant offensive tackle the play before Kareem Hunt’s game-winning touchdown:
