You might remember that Josh Allen was ruled short on that fourth-down conversion in the Chiefs vs. Bills conference championship game, right? The reason was that the sideline angles were blocked, and there was just no clear evidence to overturn the call. Well, now it seems like every day, a new angle of that play is surfacing. And this time, we’re hearing from Patrick Mahomes‘ Chiefs’ play-by-play announcer, who responded to the controversy nearly three days after the game. So, what did he have to say?

Mitch Holthus, the voice of the Chiefs, recently hit up his official ‘X’ handle and talked about the ongoing penalty controversy. “We can stay w (with) false narratives or discuss this-KC was 17th in %of scoring drives that were aided by a penalty for a first down on such drives in regular season-number 1? Wait for it …Buffalo 33% of scoring drives were aided by penalty for a first down on 86 scoring drives,” he said.

Did he finally put the final word on this whole penalty drama? We’re hoping so. Because, for the Chiefs, only 17% of their scoring drives got a little help from penalties giving them a first down. But on the flip side, the Bills were #1 in this department, with a whopping 33% of their scoring drives getting a boost from penalties. Looks like Holthus didn’t just come to the table empty-handed—he waited three days and then hit us with the research, like, “I’ve got the receipts.”

Well, why wouldn’t he? Because, at this point, the criticism for the officiating crew has become normal in the NFL and the Chiefs are being the major part of it. First, it was against the Houston Texans during the divisional round. The Houston team were controversially penalized a couple of time for roughing the passer. And who was the passer? Patrick Mahomes. What happened then?

Social media blew up with criticism of the refs for making calls in the Chiefs’ favor. It even led former referee Walt Anderson to step in and address the penalties during the game. Fast forward to now, and Mitch Holthus had to come to the rescue. But let’s be honest: Holthus isn’t just here to explain Allen being ruled short. He really laid down the law on the controversy, backing it up with some stats.

Is it an end to the Bills vs Chiefs penalty drama?

The fourth quarter in the AFC Championship round turned out to be one of the most memorable 15 minutes in this league. And it started when just 13:01 remaining. The Bills QB was ruled just short of a first down on that gutsy fourth-and-one sneak to the left. And five plays later, the reigning champions scored a go-ahead touchdown and two-point conversion to take the lead 29-22.

And that’s how the whole controversy took place. The fans, NFL legends, and analysts flooded social media with their opinions, and one of them was the former quarterback, Dan Orlovsky.

Now, let’s talk about the serious part, or should we say, the funny part? Because Holthus tagged Orlovsky in his post. Yep, you read that right. Orlovsky was one of the guys who called out the refs over that penalty. “Let’s an awful call and again a worse review. The ball clearly is past the line. Absolutely horrible,” he tweeted right after that review. Told ya, we’re getting a different angle each day, right?

But hold up—Orlovsky wasn’t about to back down without a fight. After being tagged, he didn’t hesitate to fire back, leaning on the Chiefs’ voice for his justification. So, what did he have to say? “I dunno why you’re tagging me I’ve never talked about the whole penalty thing,” he replied. Too late, Orlovsky! The arrow has left the bow. Because, of course, you did.

Is this the end of the controversy, or are we about to get hit with more angles on this thing? Guess we’ll have to wait and see. But at the end of the day, Patrick Mahomes and Co. knocked out the Bills are ready to play their next Super Bowl. Period!
