Over the years I’ve gotten a bit of a reputation for siding with the refs. Ordinarily, I think they do a great job. Usually I think they call things pretty straight. The Buffalo Bills faced off against Kansas City, and the refs were anything but ordinary or usual. Due to the volume of penalties this week (23 total, woof) I’ll focus more on key ones. Feel free to ask about others in the comments, where I’ll ignore your pleas for more information because even I’m sick of the penalties for this week.

The overall counts don’t seem too terrible.
