Football fans are accusing the NFL of fixing the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers Wild Card Round game in favor of the home team for one obvious reason.

There were several questionable calls throughout the game that favored the Bills, namely this non-call against Dane Jackson for blatant defensive PI/defensive holding/illegal contact on George Pickens in the fourth quarter that resulted in a turnover on downs:

The performance of the officiating caused fans to accuse the league of “rigging” the game in order to set up another can’t-miss showdown between the Bills and Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round on Sunday:

Who are the refs going to side with next week? #Bills #Chiefs

Steelers came out flat & sloppy. Refs just atrocious in the 2nd half. NFL got their Bills Chiefs matchup. See y’all next year.

The Chiefs defeated the Bills in the 2020 AFC Championship and 2021 Divisional Round, both at Arrowhead Stadium. This time, Josh Allen and company will get home advantage against Patrick Mahomes and the defending champions.
