The open receiver of Kansas City, Deandre Hopkins, responded to the theories about the officers helped by the bosses after his defeat in the Super Bowl against the Eagles on Sunday.
In the previous period at the end of the NFL season, the defense champions of the then defense were linked to the theories that claimed that the referees helped them towards a mob of three.
The whispers emerged from the Chiefs, as they have done throughout the season, benefiting from controversial and close calls to the playoffs.
After Sunday, the defeat 22-40 against the Eagles in New Orleans, Hopkins turned the barrel to the journalists, claiming that the questionable calls favored the dominant performance of the Eagles.
“You know I saw many things in the media about the referees,” said Hopkins. “What are you going to say about the referees and we when there were many delicate calls?”
'Are you going to inform that? Are you going to talk about the referees now?

Hopkins did not identify the specific plays, nor seemed to be at the receiving end of those calls. However, there were a couple of personal offenses against Kansas City that divided the fan base.
The first call occurred in the first TouchDown unit of Philadelphia in the middle of the first period. In a third and 5, Jalen Hurts pointed to the closed wing Dallas Goedert, who crashed with KC Trent McDuffie in the air.
While the contact was nothing more than a grass for Goedert's helmet, his head backed down and McDuffie was called by unnecessary roughness.
Another happened just before part time, when a personal offense made an aspiring third and 26 a first down for Philadelphia. The Chiefs supporter, Nick Bolton, contacted Saquon Barkley after an incomplete pass.
The atrocious contact occurred when Bolton's impulse led him to push Barkley to the grass.
That penalty of Philadelphia at the beginning and in its own 44 with 2:25 remaining in the middle. However, they did not convert the penalty into a touchdown this time.
Instead, they hit four plays later with 1:56 remaining before part time.
However, Philadelphia closed the Chiefs completely, suffocating Patrick Mahomes and the offensive in a defensive masterpiece. The Eagles led the dance, 24-0, in the part-time with the wounds finding more success than their counterpart of the bosses right next to the doors.
While some questioned the trade, the Eagles left doubts and spoiled the attempt of the chiefs of a historical feat.
