I love football but seeing the same team win the AFC Championship and the super bowl on penalties kinda killed my vibe

What are you crying about? That was one of the cleanest officiated SBs in the last 20 years.
Even if the pass interference hadn't been called on that last drive, it just would have meant a longer FG for the Chiefs. Hell, they were trying NOT to score a TD on the last three plays for crying out loud.

Excellent point. But I think they 'only' had 7 defensive points. One apparent touchdown by the same DB that scored on the fumble by the Eagles QB, was 'reversed' when the second fumble was ruled an incomplete pass. Even though the officials didn't blow the whistle in real time, to signal a dead ball.
That is the play that the media is failing to say anything about, so the majority of people that just watch the news/highlights will buy into the hype that they are selling, saying the Eagles were cheated.
It was a controversial call (pass interference) but in reality, it had virtually no effect on the outcome of the game. Like I said before, the Chiefs would have still had a FG from 10-15 yards further out. Their kicker may have missed an earlier attempt from 42 yards (by six inches) but it isn't like he is going to DOINK a second time. His actual winning kick went straight down the middle.
Then the Eagles would have had a little over a minute to try and get a tying FG. Slim odds.

Not a sports fan here;football,golf,tennis,fishing,Nascar,it is all the same to me.

Just not interested.

It's bad enough I have to hear grown men at the gym every morning talk about 'their' teams.

I called the kick return all the way to the red zone and then in, a defensive play, but that really is a special team play. Those two big plays together were what stole the game for the Chiefs.
