4. I watched most of the game and the refs definitely favored the Chiefs.

After many penalties on the Eagles they finally called a defensive pass interference call on the Chiefs near the end of the first half to make it appear that they weren't biased. The end result was instead of the Eagles having 3rd down and 1, it became first down and there was no yardage penalty. The Eagles were still 20 to 30 yards away from being in field goal range so the penalty was meaningless.

There were other missed calls such as holding penalties on the Chiefs and I doubt they would have won the game without the refs preferential calls.
