Rob Gronkowski speaks up on Kansas City Chiefs’ favoritism claims
As the Kansas City Chiefs get ready for Super Bowl 59, many believe the two-time defending champions have received favorable calls that helped them stay on top over the past five years.
Now, in an exclusive interview with Athlon Sports, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski shared his thoughts on this debate. He admitted that referees seem to go easier on the Chiefs than other teams.
“I’m not sure if they have an unfair advantage,” Gronkowski said. "I mean, definitely the calls have been more lenient towards the Kansas City Chiefs to their opponents."
However, Gronkowski made it clear that officials are not the reason teams lose to the Chiefs. He challenged opponents to beat Kansas City fair and square.
“You gotta beat them straight up," he said. "No matter if you don’t get a call. No matter if things aren’t going your way. In order to be a championship team you have to level off and you have to be tough. You have to want it more and you have to become greater than the champions themselves."
Rob Gronkowski continued:
“It doesn’t matter if the refs call play a certain way. It doesn’t matter if the ball bounces a certain way in favor of the Chiefs. You gotta be able to overcome everything and beat the champions, and no one has done that yet."
Super Bowl 59 will take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday.
