Another step toward NFL Royalty

It's important to achieve Royalty status, so that when for instance your best two Defensive players throw punches in the 1H of the AFC Championship game, the 8 men all charged with circling the field of play and watching for just such behavior, happen to miss the punches thrown (I guess) because otherwise there would have been penalties thrown (and possible ejections).

Actually, wait, we know they saw them because they were on camera and we learned from the Broadcast that the officials spoke to D Coordinator Spagnola and told him to "knock it off", which probably occurred before they reluctantly flagged a Chief for a late-hit pile drive on Diggs after about 10 secs of hoping nobody saw THAT (but it's a rule so gotta flag it).

I suppose it's possible the League office saw the punches on the broadcast and called down to the referee because they were looking bad, it's possible.

So need to keep making those steps toward Royalty...and in no way am I blaming the outcome on the officials, the Bills Def Coaches had a "cover noone AND don't pressure" philosophy and the WRs were just too beat up unfortunately and the Bills need a RB badly, and JA needs to know a play is over when it's over, but I don't like this narrative at the end that the Bills were starting fights.  Nonsense, Chiefs were horrible, but they're Royalty.

Very fun season, have faith in the Bills front office finding some answers.
