Referee appears to say "I got your back, you know that" during Patriots @ Chiefs AFC Championship Game
With 54 seconds left in regulation during the AFC Championship Game Sunday night, Tom Brady pitched an interception to the Chiefs defense. The Chiefs were going to the Super Bowl.
But there was a penalty on the play. The interception was called back and possession was returned to Brady & Co, permitting them to put the game into overtime. Prior to this play taking place, a referee could be seen on the field adjacent to the huddle and can be seen on camera speaking to the star quarterback.

Rumors have been running rampant for years about the NFL being rigged and the Patriots paying off the referees, and now the suspicion only grows further.
The suspicious calls did not only take place in Kansas City, however. The NFL also made one of the biggest mistakes during its existence by missing an obvious pass interference call during the Rams @ Saints NFC Championship Game. After the call, the game extended into overtime allowing the Rams to score a game-winning Field Goal. Interesting how two large-market coastal teams won on what seemed like luck...
Do you think outcomes of either game should have been different? Many have been calling for a rematch for the Saints, and hundreds of others are claiming they will not watch the Super Bowl this year because of the teams competing.
What's your take?

Peep the video. Referee comes in the huddle and tells Brady “I got your back, know that 👀” Next play Chiefs picks off Brady, but there was an offside called by the same Ref that was in the huddle. Coincidence #NFLPlayoffs #RiggedNFL pic.twitter.com/y8JJfpXNAh
