Iowa State men’s basketball has defeated three #1 ranked teams in last four years. And none were at home. That’s really wild.

[Chris Hassel @Hassel_Chris]

Another insane note from @CBSSports research. Only 1 program in history has multiple wins over #1 teams by 20+ points. It’s Iowa State. And it happened in a span of 21 months.

March of 2024: Beat #1 Houston by 28
Dec of 2025: Beat #1 Purdue by 23

.@Chiefs @PSchrags @danorlovsky7 We can stay w false narratives or discuss this-KC was 17th in %of scoring drives that were aided by a penalty for a first down on such drives in regular season-number 1? Wait for it …Buffalo 33% of scoring drives were aided by penalty for a first down on 86 scoring drives. @KCChiefs_Matt

The obligatory video of Chiefs fans lined up outside the gates of Arrowhead 8.5 hours before the game to tailgate in 18-degree weather:

The underrated topic the national media continually missed with the Chiefs, how they lost 3 offensive starters in the 1st month in Brown, Pacheco & Rice. Then lost Jaylen Watson & Harrison Butker along the way. They kept winning so it got ignored & turned to point differential.

Since 2018, the Chiefs have been penalized 94 times in the postseason to 118 flags for their opponents.

But again, some of that difference is procedural (delay of game, false starts, offsides, illegal motions/shifts, etc). Opponents have 45 of those and the Chiefs have 28.

So the difference in judgment calls is 73 calls for the opponents and 66 for the Chiefs. Over 18 games, that's an average of 4.1 penalties per game for Chiefs opponents and 3.7 penalties per game for the Chiefs.

Not quite half as many.

And (some of) the likely explanation is home-field advantage: studies have found that teams who play at home are penalized less often than teams on the road, and the Chiefs have spent virtually all of the Mahomes era either at home or playing neutral-site Super Bowls.

Since 2018, the average road team in all NFL games, Chiefs or otherwise, has received about 0.4 more penalties per game than the home team.
