Same way Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and a few select others have been the favored sons of the league at different points in time.
I'll be rooting for the Eagles and Saquon to get a ring, and I'll probably yell at the TV whenever the Chiefs get a call to go in their favor...but blaming it on Goodell having some sort of Satanic Pact with Swifties, is super silly at best.

I agree with you in terms of the bigger star getting the benefit of the doubt. Jordan got it against the Jazz and just about everyone else, Brady got it against everyone. The combination of Mahomes and the Swift angle has made the calls going the Chiefs way seem to stand out more. Almost like they’ve decided they’re not going to bother to try to hide it better. Could the Bills have come out of that game with a win? Sure, and shame on them for not destroying the Chiefs. But if there were going to be any close calls they were going to go against them. Hence you get a first down that wasn’t called (they got it twice), a ball hitting the ground ruled a catch, etc. The Texans game was more egregious so maybe they did try to hide it better. Progress.
