This is a year of parity and scoring is down. My view is it helps the brand to have some semblance of a dominant looking team. Chiefs are oddly down a little. 49ers fell flat for a bit. Eagles seem to be the closest thing to a dominant team so doesn’t hurt to help them out a little. The game was pretty grossly reffed - not just the obvious huge miss on the horse collar turned intentional grounding.
