Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs fell to the Bucs after an unconvincing performance last night. However, they certainly got no help from the refs.

It seems to be a trend in professional sports nowadays, especially in football. Whenever a team is losing, their fans find it easy to simply blame it on the refs.
Although that may be true in many cases, it simply wasn’t last night in Super Bowl LV. While some calls were questionable (not controversial) and led to points for Tampa, the outcome of the game would’ve been the same regardless.
The Chiefs were lost and didn’t bring their usual explosiveness whereas the Bucs had a Super Bowl calibre performance. They played great complementary football, especially on the defensive side, and earned the ring they deserved in the end.
However, it is totally understandable how Chiefs fans would be upset with some of the calls. One fan in particular was so unhappy with refs that she called out Tom Brady’s wife on Twitter: Patrick Mahomes’ mother Randi.
Gisele Bündchen, a Brazilian supermodel who has been married to Brady since 2009, tweeted her excitement for her husband’s success in the big game. However Randi Mahomes felt that her son’s team was being unfairly disadvantaged.
Let’s gooooooooo!!!!!! @TomBrady -> @RobGronkowski 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
