Chiefs Fans Upset With a Veteran Referee Assigned for Chargers Game

Carl Cheffers will oversee the Chiefs–Chargers game on Sept.5, stoking fan outrage, given his history of flagging Kansas City "heavily". Critics point to his Super Bowl LV crew that set records for penalties against the Chiefs. They highlight his playoff thread-ending calls, including an offside reversal that nullified a game-winning TD. His crew officiated 16 games last season.
