A Baltimore Ravens wide receiver might have added extra fuel to the fire for NFL fans claiming the league “rigged” the Kansas City Chiefs’ win in the AFC Championship Game On Sunday. Fans pointed out several questionable calls, including one from a suspicious video, during Sunday’s game that helped the Chiefs.
The Taylor Swift/President Joe Biden conspiracy

Some fans think the NFL helped the Chiefs for political reasons. Donald Trump’s presidential campaign released a statement regarding a popular conspiracy the NFL wanted the Chiefs to win so tight end Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, could endorse President Joe Biden during the Super Bowl.
While there is no reason to think the NFL engineered a plot to have Swift endorse Biden during the Super Bowl, Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers gave an interesting quote on the officiating during the AFC Championship.
A reporter asked Flowers how hard it was for the Ravens to deal with the penalty disparity in the AFC Championship Game. The Ravens were penalized eight times for 95 yards. The Chiefs were flagged three times for 30 yards.
Zay Flowers expected the Kansas City Chiefs to get the calls

Per video posted by WJZ Sports, Flowers said the Ravens expected the Chiefs to get favorable calls in the game:
“Honestly, that is something we anticipated; we said we were going to play through it,” Flowers said. “We can’t make the calls for the refs.”
“Those are my brothers, I ain’t except nothing different from em. We all got each other’s backs.”
Zay Flowers received a lot of support from his teammates after a costly fumble at the goal line. He spoke to the media about it after the game. #Ravens #RavensFlock @wjz pic.twitter.com/qUaZiahCLo

The Baltimore Ravens made too many mistakes

A few of the calls were self-inflicted wounds from unsportsmanlike penalties. One of those unsportsmanlike penalties were thrown on Flowers for taunting. That penalty and his goalline fumble would cost the Ravens a chance to tie the game.
Flowers’ play had nothing to do with the Pentagon wanting Swift to endorse Biden.
However, it is interesting the Ravens expected the Chiefs to get favorable calls in the AFC Championship. After all, the Chiefs will bring a lot of viewership to the Super Bowl.
