Why was Patrick Mahomes' divisional round win vs. the Texans controversial?

As mentioned, not everyone was happy with the Chiefs' win.

The reigning Super Bowl champions benefitted from a few controversial calls, helping them cement their 23-14 win. Referee Clay Martin addressed the decisions made, highlighting roughing the passer calls that helped Mahomes and his team.

"I had forcible contact to the face mask area and so I went with roughing the passer on that play," Martin said. "So, he slid, obviously, and when he slides, he is considered defenseless. The onus is on the defender. I had forcible contact there to the hairline, to the helmet."

While fans continue to debate the same, the Chiefs are one game away from another Super Bowl appearance.
