NFL world debates if Chiefs surpassed dynasty Patriots as most hated team
The Kansas City Chiefs are headed to their seventh straight AFC title game after knocking off the Houston Texans on Saturday. That victory didn’t come without controversy, most notably with the questionable officiating.
It sparked an online debate on whether the Chiefs had surpassed the dynasty New England Patriots as the most hated team in NFL history. The Patriots had a chokehold on the NFL for nearly two decades with six Super Bowl wins.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs have added three more Super Bowls to their collection since Patrick Mahomes has been the quarterback. Social media was flooded over the weekend with fans calling out the officiating for consistently favoring the Chiefs.
Even Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman appeared to be frustrated with the officiating when in the booth commentating during the game.

There is clearly Chiefs fatigue right now in the NFL, which is something Patriots fans can understand from their incredibly long run on top. With that said, have the Chiefs surpassed the Patriots as the NFL’s most hated football team?
Here’s what fans were saying about it on social media:
Popular opinion:The current Chiefs are easier to hate than the Brady led Patriots(and I lived through the #TuckRule).
