Terrell Owens launches scathing attack on ‘rigged’ NFL and ‘blatant’ Chiefs favoritism before Super Bowl 2025

The NFL can’t kill this conspiracy theory.

Commissioner Roger Goodell, Chiefs players and the NFL referees union have all pushed back on the notion that Kansas City has received favorable calls on their way to Super Bowl 2025.

Still, prominent voices of concern keep rising up.

An interview with former NFL great Terrell Owens on the “Is What It Is” podcast went viral on Tuesday, in which he claims the league has been “blatant” in favoring the Chiefs.

It’s crazy, because I played the game and I’m watching the game and I’m looking at all these calls that they’re just, that’s benefiting the Kansas City Chiefs,” Owens said. “Look at the game before, against the Texans. [Patrick] Mahomes is smart, he’s dinking around, he’s causing the flag, you know what I mean?

He’s getting the benefit. He didn’t even get hit. Fifteen-yard flag, the guy, Will Anderson, barely hit him. That can stop the momentum of the game. At that point in time, the Houston Texans were in the game. Those calls right there advances them, gives them extra downs. It changed the whole complexity of the game.”

Owens, who starred for the 49ers, Cowboys and Eagles, said he is friendly with Travis Kelce and that Andy Reid is his “favorite coach” from their time together in Philadelphia.
