After the Green Bay Packers secured a victory against the Kansas City Chiefs at Lambeau Field in Week 13, Packers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell used X (formerly Twitter) to express his thoughts on the game. Campbell threw shade at both the defending Super Bowl champions and the officiating crew, suggesting that attempts were made to favor the Chiefs.
In his tweet on December 4, Campbell stated, “They tried to do everything they could to make sure the Chiefs won but guess what PACKERS WIN AGAIN 🤣🤣.”
The game had its share of controversial decisions by the officiating crew, including a personal foul on a Green Bay defender hitting Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in-bounds and a no-call on a potential defensive pass interference against a Packers defender covering receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Despite the personal foul call not significantly impacting the game’s outcome, it highlighted another instance of questionable decisions by NFL referees in crucial moments.
In a pool report, head referee Brad Allen addressed the unnecessary roughness call on Mahomes, explaining that the covering official believed the defender made late and unnecessary contact. Regarding the no-call on potential pass interference, Allen mentioned that the covering officials ruled there was no material restriction affecting the receiver.
Twitter/X users shared mixed reactions to the Chiefs’ loss, blaming the referees for some issues while acknowledging the team’s overall unpreparedness and individualistic playing style.
