The officiating crew they had at that game, and how many times they cut to her, it doesn't make me tinfoil hat, but it does remind me the NFL is almost entirely profit driven.

Also comparing comment threads (on YouTube) of the games yesterday, it's amazing how much more derision is stirred when the officials seem to have bias (chiefs ravens), compared to when the game is called with restraint (49ers lions). The niners lions comments were downright civil, while Ravens and Chiefs were openly hostile.
