Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

The article uses sensational language to describe the situation, such as 'bad beat' and 'dramatic swing.'

Patrick Mahomes ensured a victory for the Kansas City Chiefs when he scrambled for a first down and slid just shy of the end zone with less than two minutes remaining in Sunday night’s game against the New York Jets. As Chiefs fans celebrated the narrow victory, Vegas was doing the same. 'That was a pretty big swing for us,' Derek Wilkinson, SVP of Sports for DRF Sportsbook, told Fox News Digital. 'We always get flooded with Chiefs money, and it was more significant this week because they were playing a struggling Jets team. Smart move by Mahomes to just end the game, and we aren’t mad at him about it. However, I can’t retire until the Chiefs start losing some games outright.'

Use neutral language to describe the situation without exaggeration.

Biased language

The article uses biased language by referring to the Chiefs as 'defending Super Bowl champions' and the Jets as a 'struggling' team.

The Chiefs were favored to win by 7.5 and 8 in some sportsbooks with the expectations that the defending Super Bowl champions would easily secure a win over the struggling Jets, who are 0-2 since winning their season opener against the Buffalo Bills. 'It would have been probably our biggest single game loss for the year,' Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito told Fox News Digital. 'It would have been a great game for the guests on the other side of the counter.'

Use neutral language to describe the teams without implying bias.

Omission of key information

The article fails to provide information about the final score of the game and the overall performance of the Chiefs and the Jets.

The Chiefs’ led their opponents, 23-20, and Mahomes opted against scoring another touchdown, which allowed Kansas City to take control of the clock and, ultimately, the game.

Include the final score of the game and provide more context about the performance of both teams.
