NEW ORLEANS, LA — As festivities ramped up in preparation for Super Bowl LIX this Sunday, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell brushed off any concerns about biased officiating.
While allegations from fans and media that the Kansas City Chiefs regularly benefitted from referees turning games in their favor persisted throughout the season, Goodell adamantly refused to give them any credence.
"These accusations regarding our officials are preposterous and without merit," he said while decked out in Chiefs gear. "Our officials take great pride in their jobs and take the integrity of the game seriously. Our fans can rest assured that this Sunday's game, like every NFL game, will be called right down the middle. It will be a fair game to determine a winner, whether that ends up being the Chiefs or the Chiefs."
Despite wearing a Patrick Mahomes #15 jersey and Chiefs cap instead of his traditional tailored suit, Goodell maintained that the NFL would never show preferential treatment to any one team over another. "It's ridiculous," he said. "Beyond the fact that they never lose, always seem to have penalties against their opponents at the most crucial moments, and the established mandate that Patrick Mahomes not be touched, there is no evidence that the NFL is biased toward the Chiefs."
Goodell then excused himself to attend a private lunch at the invitation of Taylor Swift.
At publishing time, the NFL had told the Philadelphia Eagles not to pay any attention to "Kansas City Chiefs" already being engraved on the Lombardi Trophy.
