The Kansas City Chiefs’ victory on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals created much controversy amongst fans and players around the league.

The infamous 4th and 16 when Patrick Mahomes threw an incomplete pass intended for wide receiver Rashee Rice, but referees called pass interference on Bengals rookie Daijahn Anthony. The penalty allowed the setup for Harrison Butker’s game-winning field goal.

The result of this play didn’t sit well with Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who vented on a recent episode of his podcast, ‘The Edge with Micah Parsons.’

“It was very shaky. That game was pretty crazy; a lot of calls went both ways, and I’m going to be honest, I feel like the refs did favor the Chiefs a little bit more,” said Parsons. “But at the end of the day, you can’t put the game in the refs’ hands.”

Parsons’ comments on a game he didn’t participate in are raising eyebrows since, on that same day, his Cowboys were dominated by the New Orleans Saints. The 44-19 loss was one of the more shocking results of Week 2.
