Roger Goodell spoke ahead of Opening Night in New Orleans. In Star reporter Blair Kerkhoff’s roundup from Goodell’s news conference, he noted the NFL commissioner was asked about the idea that the Chiefs receive favorable officiating. Replied Goodell: “It’s a ridiculous theory, for anyone who might take it seriously.”

The Kansas City Chiefs’ search for history is nearly complete. Standing between the them and that objective is the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59. Coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes & Co. are vying to become the first team in NFL history to win three-straight titles.

Kansas City has paid bizarre tribute to the Chiefs ahead of the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills and people online are, in a word, horrified.
