Part 3/8:
The conversation about officiating legitimacy often cites specific referees, such as Klay Martin, who officiated a divisional round game recently where contentious penalties against the Texans contributed to crucial scoring opportunities for the Chiefs. Interestingly, when Martin officiates, Mahomes has a perfect 7-0 record. Contrastingly, when referee Clete Blakeman is in charge, the Chiefs have only a 5-6 record, with Blakeman’s crew notoriously calling more unnecessary roughness and personal foul penalties.
