Steve Spagnuolo Got Away With The Worst No-Call Of The NFL Season

The Chiefs Were Robbed In The AFC Championship Game

The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game, and there is no doubt that the officiating played a major role in the outcome. The most egregious no-call came late in the fourth quarter, when Bengals cornerback Eli Apple clearly interfered with Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the end zone. The no-call allowed the Bengals to hold on to a 27-24 lead, and they eventually went on to win the game.

The no-call was so bad that even Bengals players were admitting that it should have been called. After the game, Bengals safety Vonn Bell said, "It was obvious pass interference. I don't know how they didn't call it." Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton also said, "It was a clear-cut pass interference. I don't know how the refs missed it."

The NFL has since admitted that the no-call was a mistake, but that doesn't make it any better for the Chiefs. They were robbed of a chance to win the AFC Championship Game, and they deserve an apology from the NFL.

Spagnuolo's Defense Was Exposed

The Chiefs' defense was supposed to be one of the best in the NFL this season, but they were exposed by the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game. The Bengals were able to move the ball up and down the field at will, and they scored 27 points. The Chiefs' defense couldn't get any pressure on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, and they couldn't stop the Bengals' running game.

The Chiefs' defense has been a major disappointment this season, and they need to make some serious changes in the offseason. They need to find a way to get more pressure on the quarterback, and they need to improve their run defense. If they don't, they won't be able to compete for a Super Bowl next season.

The Chiefs Need To Re-evaluate Their Coaching Staff

The Chiefs' coaching staff has also been a disappointment this season. Head coach Andy Reid has made some questionable decisions, and his offensive play-calling has been inconsistent. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has also been criticized for his scheme, and his defense has struggled all season.

The Chiefs need to re-evaluate their coaching staff in the offseason. They need to find a new defensive coordinator, and they need to consider making some changes to their offensive coaching staff. If they don't, they won't be able to compete for a Super Bowl next season.

Conclusion

The Chiefs' loss to the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game was a disappointing end to a promising season. The Chiefs were robbed of a chance to win the game by a bad no-call, and their defense was exposed. The Chiefs need to make some serious changes in the offseason, including re-evaluating their coaching staff. If they don't, they won't be able to compete for a Super Bowl next season.
