Rob Gronkowski offered insights for the Bills facing the Chiefs, recommending they play conservatively around Patrick Mahomes to avoid costly penalties. Notably, the Chiefs have maintained a remarkable penalty record in playoffs, often benefiting from fewer calls than their adversaries, enhancing their competitive edge. The article highlights the strategic nuances of officiating and how teams could adapt their approach to capitalize on these dynamics during high-stakes matchups.
