"Death, taxes & rigged Chiefs game": NFL fans flame referees after missing PI call on Kansas City as Trevor Lawrence gets picked off 

NFL fans are unhappy with the referees of the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars. One particular moment during the game irked them the most.

During a second-and-seven play in the fourth quarter, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence tried to make a pass down the field. However, his pass gets picked off by cornerback Trent McDuffie. Thus, the pass ended as an interception.

However, fans were quick to call out the game officials for their judgment on this play. They shared their reactions on how there was an alleged clear pass interference, as Jaden Hicks knocked Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington to the ground.

Refs gobbling @Chiefs knob again. Gifted them a TD with that "missed" PI-turned-INT and let them tie the game on a mega-short field.

Watch 21 on defense. He takes out the receiver with the ball in the air. Obvious PI! Refs are bailing out the Chiefs once again. #Jags

@NFL @Chiefs @NFLPlus You’d think as an organization you’d hide your worst moments, but no the NFL just puts blatant missed calls as highlights.

Patrick Mahomes opens up about his disappointment after the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Jaguars

In the post-game press conference, the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was visibly disappointed with the outcome of Week 5's showdown against the Jaguars.

Mahomes highlighted how they let the game 'slip away' from their grasp while giving Liam Coen and his team their flowers for their performance at EverBank Stadium.

"Obviously, it sucks," Mahomes said. "You know, you let a game slip away. Credit to them, they played hard and they played hard the entire game and they got a lot of good football players, and they closed out there at the end."

"It still sucks when you get a lead like that and, you know, you're not able to hold it through the rest of the game."

The Kansas City Chiefs are next scheduled to face the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium on Oct.12. The game will be broadcast on NBC, Peacock, and NFL+ at 8:15 pm ET.
